The Transmission Company of Nigeria will shut down parts of its Katampe 132/33kV Transmission Substation on Saturday for scheduled maintenance.
In a statement released Friday by TCN’s General Manager of Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, the company said the outage will run from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm on July 4, 2026.
The work will focus on preventive maintenance of the 100MVA 132/33kV Power Transformer, known as TR1, along with its auxiliaries and related switchgear at the substation.
Because of the shutdown, the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company will not be able to receive bulk power from TCN during those hours. That means customers in several FCT areas will experience a blackout.
Areas affected include: Mpape, Maitama, Jahi, Life Camp, Kado to Fish Market, Idu-Karmo and surrounding communities.
TCN said the maintenance is necessary to keep equipment running optimally and apologized for any inconvenience caused to electricity users in the affected areas.
