Abuja Faces Power Outage as TCN Issues Disconnection Notice to AEDC
Darkness may soon envelop Abuja, as well as parts of Nasarawa, Niger, and Kogi states, following a recent notice issued by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN).
The TCN has informed the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) of a forthcoming disconnection due to its failure to adhere to established Market Rules.
In a disconnection notice dated Friday, signed by Ali Ahmad, the Market Operator at TCN, it was announced that the AEDC faces a five-working-day ultimatum to address these compliance issues. If the AEDC does not rectify its infractions by the deadline, which falls on July 28, 2024, the disconnection will be enforced.
The impending disconnection is set to affect the 33kV feeder linked to the 132/33kV Katampe 1 Transmission Station, as well as Feeder 3 from the 132/33kV Central Area Transmission Station. This action comes as a result of AEDC’s non-compliance with Section 15.3.3.a of the Market Rules.
The TCN’s notice also highlighted that proper procedures, including newspaper publications, have been followed to ensure AEDC was made aware of its violations. The company has been given a five-day window to remedy these issues before the disconnection is carried out.
