The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced a five-hour interruption of electricity supply to some communities in Kogi State as it carries out annual preventive maintenance at its 330/132kV Ajaokuta Transmission Substation.
In a statement signed by TCN Management on Monday, the company said the maintenance exercise is scheduled for Tuesday, September 1, 2026, from 10am to 3pm.
According to TCN, the exercise is necessary to enable its maintenance crew to work on the bay switchgear and associated equipment on the 132kV Ajaokuta Transmission Line 1.
The company explained that the development would prevent the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) from off-taking electricity to customers in Adogo, Anyigba, Ganaja and adjoining areas during the maintenance period.
TCN assured electricity consumers in the affected areas that power supply would be restored immediately after the maintenance exercise is completed.
The company apologised to electricity consumers for the inconvenience the planned maintenance may cause, stressing that the exercise is necessary to ensure the reliability and stability of electricity transmission infrastructure.
