AEDC, in a statement by it's Management, had informed its customers of prevailing electricity supply constraints, attributing a reduction in its power allocation from approximately 641 megawatts (MW) to 314MW to the alleged tripping of transmission lines supplying the Federal Capital Territory from Shiroro.
However, in a statement signed by it's Management on Wednesday, TCN described the claim as inaccurate and misleading, saying the reduction in AEDC's allocation was caused by low electricity generation on the national grid and not by any transmission line tripping.
According to TCN, all 330kV transmission lines within the Abuja Region are currently in circuit, stressing that there has been no tripping of the 330kV transmission lines supplying the Abuja axis as alleged by AEDC.
The company therefore clarified that the reduction in AEDC's allocation, as well as the resulting load shedding across its feeders, cannot be attributed to any alleged tripping of TCN's 330kV transmission lines within the Abuja Region.
TCN urged stakeholders to ensure accurate and clear dissemination of information, particularly on issues relating to electricity supply and the operation of the national grid.
The company reaffirmed its commitment to efficiently transmitting available bulk electricity across the country while maintaining the stability, reliability and integrity of Nigeria's transmission grid.
