Seven-Hour Outage Looms in Abuja as TCN Begins Maintenance

The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced a planned power outage in parts of Abuja on Saturday as it carries out maintenance at the Katampe 132/33kV Transmission Substation.

According to a statement by TCN’s General Manager of Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, the outage will occur from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. to allow maintenance on a 100MVA power transformer and related equipment.
