The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced a scheduled maintenance exercise on the Uyo-Itu 132kV transmission line, warning of temporary electricity supply disruption in parts of Akwa Ibom State.
The maintenance, scheduled for Saturday, October 31, 2026, will take place between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., according to a notice issued by TCN Management.
The exercise is expected to affect the ability of the Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company (PHEDC) to receive electricity for onward distribution to customers in Eket, Ikot Abasi, Etinan, Ikot Ekpene, Onna and Uyo Complex.
TCN said its maintenance team would carry out the scheduled work as part of efforts to maintain the transmission infrastructure.
The company apologised to electricity consumers in the affected communities for the inconvenience the temporary disruption might cause.
