TCN begins seven-hour maintenance at Katampe transmission substation
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), Abuja Region, has announced a planned preventive maintenance at the Katampe 132/33 KiloVolt (kv) Transmission Substation on Saturday from 9:00am to 4:00pm.
TCN’S General Manager, Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, said in a statement in Abuja on Saturday.
According to her, the scheduled maintenance is to enable TCN’s maintenance crew carry out preventive maintenance on the 100 Mega Volt Ampree (MVA) 132/33kV Power Transformer (TR1), its auxiliaries, and associated switchgear in the substation.
She said, “Consequently, Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) will be unable to off-take bulk power for distribution to customers in parts of Mpape, Maitama, Jahi, Life Camp. Others are Kado Fish Market, Idu-Karmo, and their environs during the maintenance period.”
Ms Mbah said that the company regretted any inconvenience the planned outage might cause electricity customers in the affected areas.
