The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has successfully restored bulk power supply to its 60 megavolt-amperes transformer at the Kukwaba 132/33-kilovolt transmission substation, 24 hours after the facility experienced a fault.

Ndidi Mbah, the General Manager of Public Affairs at TCN, announced this in a statement on Friday. The power supply was restored around 5:51 PM on Thursday.

As a result, the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company can now distribute bulk power to its customers in various areas, including Galadimawa, Games Village, National Stadium, Sunny Vale, Kabusa Gardens, TSF Eye Clinic, AMMSCO Estate, Sun City, parts of Kabusa, Same Global, Durumi, American International School, Sabo Lugbe, TradeMore Estate, Pyakasa, Aleita/Chika, and Ako Estate.

“TCN hereby announces the restoration of bulk power supply through its 60 MVA TRI transformer at Kukwaba 132/33kV Transmission Substation, on the 13th of June, 2024 at 5:51 pm.

“Recall that the transformer was opened on an emergency to trace and rectify the cause of sudden smoke from the transformer. This has since been rectified and the transformer restored to service,” TCN stated.
