JUST IN: TCN Forecasts Extended Power Outage Spanning Two Days In Three States
Electricity consumers in Gombe, as well as certain areas in Yola and Bauchi states, are set to face power outages on Thursday and Friday due to planned maintenance activities by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN)…….CONTINUE READING
The TCN has announced that its maintenance crew will be engaged in scheduled preventive maintenance on the bay of its T1A 150MVA, 330/132/33kV transformer on January 18 and 19, 2024. The General Manager of Public Affairs at TCN, Ndidi Mbah, stated that the maintenance will occur over an eight-hour period, from 9 am to 5 pm on both days.
To facilitate the maintenance exercise, the TCN will transfer the load from the T1A 150MVA transformer to its T2A 150MVA transformer in the same substation. This transfer will result in a temporary interruption of bulk power supply to Jos and Yola Distribution Companies (DisCos) through the T1A transformer.
Mbah clarified that the interruption would only impact bulk supply during the transfer period and not throughout the entire eight-hour maintenance duration. The short outage is expected to affect Gombe and certain parts of Yola and Bauchi states solely during the transfer time on both days.
She assured that TCN would promptly restore bulk power supply through the transformer immediately after completing the maintenance exercise. Despite the inconvenience caused during the transfer period, TCN expressed regret and emphasized its commitment to ensuring the reliability and efficiency of the power infrastructure.
In a related development, TCN’s maintenance crew previously executed scheduled preventive maintenance on the Jos-Lafia 330kV transmission lines on Saturday. These lines had reportedly been inactive for a significant period, and the maintenance work aimed to address this issue.
