TCN begins seven-hour maintenance at Katampe transmission substation
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), Abuja Region, has announced a planned preventive maintenance at the Katampe 132/33 KiloVolt (kv) Transmission Substation on Saturday from 9:00am to 4:00pm.
TCN’S General Manager, Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, said in a statement in Abuja on Saturday.
According to her, the scheduled maintenance is to enable TCN’s maintenance crew carry out preventive maintenance on the 100 Mega Volt Ampree (MVA) 132/33kV Power Transformer (TR1), its auxiliaries, and associated switchgear in the substation.
She said, “Consequently, Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) will be unable to off-take bulk power for distribution to customers in parts of Mpape, Maitama, Jahi, Life Camp. Others are Kado Fish Market, Idu-Karmo, and their environs during the maintenance period.”
Ms Mbah said that the company regretted any inconvenience the planned outage might cause electricity customers in the affected areas.
She added that equipment maintenance is essential to ensure their continued optimal performance.
