Power interruption planned for Suleja, surrounding areas during grid maintenance

​ABUJA — Parts of Suleja and neighbouring communities will experience a brief power outage on Saturday, September 26, to allow for annual preventive maintenance on key transmission equipment, utility officials have announced.​

The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) said engineers will carry out scheduled maintenance on the switchgears and associated equipment along the Gwarinpa–Suleja 132/33kV line 2 bay between 13:00 and 16:00 local time.

As a result, customers supplied by the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) in Suleja Township, FCT College of Education, Field Base, Zuba, Sabon Wuse, and surrounding areas will face a temporary 20-minute power interruption.​

TCN explained that electricity loads will be transferred from Line 2 to the Kubwa–Suleja Line 1 to prevent a prolonged outage during the maintenance exercise.

​In a statement released on Friday, TCN management apologised to affected consumers for the inconvenience caused by the scheduled work.
