The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has stated that some portions of Delta State would experience a three-hour power outage Wednesday.
Ndidi Mbah, general manager of public affairs at TCN, stated on Tuesday that the planned blackout is due to repairs at the Delta 132/33kV transmission substation from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
“The maintenance aims to address a fault on the 132kV Delta1 busbar,” Mbah said.
“Consequently, the Benin Electricity Distribution Company (BEDC) will not be able to offtake power to supply Agbarho/Eku, Otovwodo/Patani, Ughelli/Shell, Beta Glass, Aladja, Isoko/Kwale, and Imoniyame.
“Additionally, customers on the 33kV Effurun, Enerhen, PTI, Sapele, Refinery 1, Refinery 2, and Warri feeders, which emanate from the Effurun Transmission Substation, will also be affected.”
Mbah stated that TCN apologises for the inconvenience and ensures that the power supply would resume shortly following the maintenance activity.
On January 3, the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) stated that power supplies in Abuja would be affected from January 6 to 21.
AEDC stated that the blackout is the result of the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) relocating feeder and transmission line towers along the outer southern motorway
