The Transmission Company of Nigeria has announced a planned maintenance exercise that will result in a temporary power outage across parts of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
In a statement issued on Saturday, TCN said the maintenance would be carried out at the Apo 132/33kV Transmission Substation. The exercise is scheduled to take place on Saturday, January 24, 2026, between 9:00 am and 4:00 pm.
According to the company, the planned work will involve maintenance on the 60MVA 132/33kV transformer (3APH TR1) and its associated switchgear at the facility.
TCN explained that during the maintenance period, the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company will be unable to receive bulk power supply for onward distribution to customers in several areas. The affected locations include Gudu District, Gaduwa, Durumi, the Printing and Minting axis, Garki, and surrounding communities.
The company assured electricity consumers that power supply would be restored immediately after the completion of the maintenance work.
TCN also apologised for the inconvenience the outage may cause residents and businesses in the affected areas, urging consumers to make adequate arrangements ahead of the scheduled disruption.
