On Sunday, September 6, 2026, several areas of Abuja are set to encounter a temporary power disruption as the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) conducts routine maintenance at the 132kV Apo Transmission Substation. The maintenance work, scheduled from 9:00am to 5:00pm, will involve the installation and fastening of Optical Ground Wire (OPGW) on two 132kV Katampe–Apo Transmission Lines, specifically Lines 1 and 2, between towers T130 and T132.
This maintenance will impact electricity delivery to residents in Lugbe, Garki, Area 1, National Hospital, Guzape, Asokoro, and nearby regions. TCN has informed the public that these areas will be unable to receive electricity supply from the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) during the maintenance period. The company has assured residents that power will be restored promptly once the maintenance is finished, and has also extended apologies to those affected for the temporary inconvenience.
