TCN starts two-day annual repairs on two transformers at Apo transmission substation
The Transmission Company of Nigeria said it will carry out an annual preventive maintenance on two transformers at the Apo 132/33 Kilo Volt (kV) transmission substation.
This is contained in a statement by the TCN’s General Manager, Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, in Abuja on Saturday.
According to Mrs Mbah, the maintenance will take place on Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 a. m to 4:00 p.m each day.
The statement stated, “TCN wishes to inform the public that its maintenance crew will conduct an annual preventive maintenance on the 2×100 Megavolt Ampere (MVA), TR3 & TR4 transformers at the Apo 132/33kV Transmission Substation in Abuja. Consequently, on Saturday, the National Hospital G2, injection station, Garki, Area 1 and Asokoro will experience power interruption for seven hours. On Sunday, APO Legislative Quarters, APO Resettlement, Gudu, APO Mechanic and surrounding areas will experience a seven-hour power interruption.’’
She said that the planned power interruptions were unavoidable, as Abuja Electricity Distribution Company will be unable to receive bulk power supply from the transformers during the maintenance period.
“Power supply will be restored to the affected areas upon completion of the maintenance exercise,” Mr Mbah said. .
She apologised for the inconveniences the maintenance could cause the affected electricity customers
