TCN announces impending power interruption in parts of Abuja
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced an impending power interruption in some parts of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, on Sunday.
Ndidi Mbah, TCN’s spokesperson, announced this in a statement in Abuja on Saturday.
She said that on Sunday, between 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., maintenance work would be carried out on one of the 60MVA power transformers at the 132/33kV transmission substation at Kukwaba.
”This will result in power interruption in Wuye, EFCC, Federal Medical Centre, Coca-Cola, Idu Railway Station, Citec, and Life Camp.
”The TCN apologises for the inconvenience this may cause, especially given the yuletide and end-of-the-year festivities.
”However, it is important that maintenance is carried out as scheduled for optimal performance of power equipment,” she said.
Ms Mbah noted that TCN had earlier, on Saturday, carried out similar maintenance on the 60 MVA power transformer and its associated switch gears at the Gwagwalada 330/132/33 Kilo Volt (kV) Transmission Substation.
She said that while the maintenance lasted, there was disruption in electricity distribution in Gwagwalada and environs during the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.
