The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced a planned maintenance exercise at its Akwanga 132/33kV Transmission Substation, with electricity supply set to be disrupted in parts of Nasarawa State until Saturday.
In a statement issued on Friday, TCN said its maintenance crew would carry out scheduled work on the 40MVA 132/33kV Transformer TR1 at the Akwanga Transmission Substation.
According to the company, the maintenance began at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, August 7, 2026, and is expected to be completed by 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 8, 2026.
During the maintenance period, the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) will be unable to receive bulk electricity from the affected transformer for distribution to customers in Akwanga, Nasarawa and surrounding communities, including the Water Board area.
TCN apologised for the inconvenience the exercise may cause and appealed for the understanding and patience of affected electricity consumers.
The company said the maintenance is aimed at improving the reliability of the transmission network and enhancing bulk power supply to the affected areas.
