The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), Benin Region, has announced a planned power outage at its Ondo 132/33kV Transmission Substation on Tuesday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
The General Manager, Public Affairs, Mrs Ndidi Mbah, disclosed this in a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday.
According to Mbah, the scheduled outage will allow TCN engineers to transfer the Ife-Ondo 132kV transmission line from the proposed Omotosho-Ondo 132kV line bay to the Ife-Ondo 132kV line bay.
She added that the company would also inaugurate a newly installed 60 Mega Volt Ampere (MVA) 132/33kV transformer at the substation during the exercise.
“Consequently, the Benin Electricity Distribution Company (BEDC) will be unable to off-take power supply to its customers in Okitipupa and Ondo Town during the 10-hour outage.
“TCN apologises for any inconvenience this will cause electricity consumers in the affected areas,” she said.
