The Jos Electricity Distribution Company Plc (JED) has announced that power will be available in Plateau, Bauchi, and Gombe states from August 28 to September 2.
The planned outage will last from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. during that time frame.
The news was made public by the organization’s head of corporate communications, Friday Elijah, on Saturday in Jos.
He explained that the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) arranged the outage to allow its local engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractors to perform installations.
According to him “the planned outage by TCN is to enable its EPCC contractors to safely connect the gantry beam of the new APO line to the existing Lafia line-Jos 330 kV double circuit.
“Please note that there will be an increase in load shedding during this period as the 330KV Jos complex will remain on supply via the Kaduna-Jos 330KV line,’’ he said.
Customers were asked to be patient and bear with the situation by a JED official, who stated that the company is determined to enhance service delivery.
