TCN restores full power supply to Central Area Abuja after six-week disruption
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) says it successfully restored full bulk power supply to Katampe-Central Area, Abuja 132/33 Kilo Volt (KV) lines 1 & 2 on Thursday.
Ndidi Mbah, TCN’s general manager of public affairs, said this in a statement on Friday in Abuja.
Ms Mbah recalled that on January 17, the underground 1×400 millimetres (MM) cross-link polyethylene (XLPE) copper conductor was vandalised, causing more than six weeks of power disruption within Abuja, which necessitated backfeeding of some feeders.
According to her, TCN has completed the necessary repairs and replacements to the affected portion of the lines, fully restoring bulk power supply to the affected feeders.
”This ensures that Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) can now provide normal supply to its customers in the affected areas.
”TCN remains committed to ensuring a reliable power supply across the nation.
”We continue to urge the public to support the ongoing campaign against the vandalism of power infrastructure,” she said.
