The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has restored bulk electricity supply through the Uyo/Itu 132kV transmission line following the successful completion of its annual preventive maintenance.
TCN disclosed in a statement on Sunday that the maintenance work was completed at about 8:15 p.m. on Saturday, October 31, 2026, several hours after the exercise commenced at 10 a.m., resulting in a temporary interruption of electricity supply to affected areas.
With the restoration, the Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company (PHEDC) can now receive bulk electricity for onward distribution to customers in Eket, Ikot-Abasi, Etinan, Ikot Ekpene, Onna and Uyo Complex.
The company explained that the maintenance was part of its routine efforts to ensure the reliability and efficiency of the transmission infrastructure.
TCN apologised to electricity consumers in the affected communities for the inconvenience caused by the temporary interruption.
