TCN announces forced outage on Alaoji 132kV transmission line
Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) says a forced outage occurred on the Alaoji 132kV transmission line at about 3:59 a.m. on Tuesday due to an earth fault and a distance protection failure.
Ndidi Mbah, TCN’s general manager, public affairs, made the announcement in a statement in Abuja on Tuesday.
Mrs Mbah, however, said TCN’s maintenance crew is currently working on the line to ensure normal bulk power supply is restored as quickly as possible.
“Consequently, the Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company (PHEDC) has been unable to off-take electricity supply for distribution to its customers in Owerri, Yenagoa, and Ahoada.
“TCN apologises for any inconvenience this outage will cause affected electricity customers,” she said.
