The Transmission Company of Nigeria has announced a planned power outage in parts of Ibadan, Oyo State, following scheduled maintenance at the Ayede Transmission Substation.
The company disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday by its General Manager, Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, noting that a 100MVA 132/33kV transformer would be temporarily shut down for routine preventive maintenance.
According to the statement, the exercise is scheduled to take place between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.
TCN explained that the maintenance was part of ongoing efforts to ensure efficient and reliable operation of its transmission facilities nationwide.
“The scheduled maintenance will allow our engineers to carry out essential checks and servicing of the transformer to maintain optimal performance,” the statement read.
The company further stated that the temporary shutdown would affect electricity supply in some areas under the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company.
It listed the affected areas as Express, Industrial and Oluyole, adding that residents in the locations would experience interruption in power supply during the period.
TCN, however, assured that normal electricity supply would be restored immediately after the maintenance exercise is concluded.
