The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced an eight-hour planned maintenance exercise at its 132/33kV substation in Kubwa, Abuja.
The exercise is scheduled for Wednesday, October 7, 2026, and will run from 10:00am to 6:00pm.
TCN said its maintenance team would use the period to replace a faulty 33kV NIPP feeder circuit breaker and a punctured yellow-phase current transformer with new units.
The company said the maintenance would temporarily affect electricity supply to customers in Kubwa, Bwari, Army Resettlement, parts of Dutse Alhaji and other adjoining areas.
According to the company, the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) would be unable to offtake electricity supply to customers within the affected areas while the maintenance work lasts.
TCN apologised to electricity customers in the affected communities for the inconvenience the exercise may cause.
