Nigeria’s capital Abuja will experience a temporary power outage in several areas on Sunday due to scheduled maintenance at the 132kV Apo Transmission Substation, the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) said.
The maintenance will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and affect electricity supply to Lugbe, Garki, Area 1, National Hospital, Guzape, Asokoro and surrounding areas, TCN said in a statement on Saturday.
The work involves stringing and latching Optical Ground Wire (OPGW) on the two 132kV Katampe-Apo transmission lines between towers T130 and T132, it said.
The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) will be unable to receive electricity for distribution to customers in the affected areas during the exercise, TCN said.
Power supply will be restored immediately after the maintenance is completed, the company said, apologising to affected residents and electricity consumers for the inconvenience.
