The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced that it will shut down its 132/33kV transmission substations in Effurun and Delta, Delta State, on September 19, 2024, for maintenance.
A statement issued by Ndidi Mbah, General Manager Public Affairs at TCN, said the scheduled preventive maintenance at the 132/33kV 60MVA transformer at the Effurun Substation would take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Consequently, there will be power interruption affecting Benin DisCo customers in ENERHEN, SAPELE, EFFURUN, PTI, and ENVIRONS.
Similarly, the maintenance work on the Delta Substation will commence from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., allowing TCN’s linesmen to treat a hotspot on the blue phase down dropper to the Delta/Effurun 132kV Line isolator.
“This will result in a four-hour power interruption for Benin DisCo customers in REFINERY 1, REFINERY 2, EFFURUN, WARRI, ENERHEN, PTI, SAPELE, and ENVIRONS,” the statement said.
According to the statement, the power interruption is necessary to create a safe working environment for the maintenance crew.
“Power supply will be restored immediately after the maintenance crew completes the work,” the statement concluded.
