The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced it will temporarily cut electricity to parts of Abuja for six hours on September 23, 2026. This scheduled outage is necessary for preventative maintenance on a major transformer at the Central Area GIS 132/33kV Transmission Substation. The 100MVA power transformer and its switchgear will undergo routine checks.
The maintenance is set to take place between 10:00am and 4:00pm. As a result, TCN will be unable to supply electricity to customers in Wuse Zones 1-7, the Sheraton Hotel area, the Central Business District, Utako, Jabi, and surrounding regions during this period. TCN expresses regret for any inconvenience caused by this planned power interruption.
The company emphasizes that this exercise is part of its ongoing commitment to maintaining the reliability of Nigeria's national transmission network.
