The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced maintenance exercises that will affect power supply in some Federal Capital Territory (FCT) parts.
TCN disclosed this in a statement on Saturday by its General Manager, Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah.
TCN announced that its engineers would conduct planned maintenance exercises at two transmission substations between Saturday and Sunday.
The statement noted that from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, maintenance will be carried out on a 60MVA power transformer and its associated switchgear at the Gwagwalada 330/132/33kV Transmission Substation.
It added that from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sunday, maintenance work will be carried out on one of the 60MVA power transformers at the Kukwaba 132/33kV Transmission Substation.
According to TCN, this will result in power interruptions in Wuye, EFCC, Federal Medical Centre, Coca-Cola, Idu Railway Station, Citec, and Life Camp.
