 Parts of Edo, Delta to experience outage for 13 days, says TCN


The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) at the weekend said parts of Delta and Edo States are to experience outage for 13 days owing to the commencement of erection of two towers.

TCN also said the outage will be due to the restringing of the Benin-Delta and Delta-Oghara 132kV double circuit transmission lines.

According to her, Amukpe substation will be out for the duration of the work.

She added bulk power supply to Benin DisCo through the following feeders: the ADEJE, INDUSTRIAL, WOODLAND, MOSOGAR, SAPELE (SAPELE) and ABRAKA feeders will be out of bulk power supply for the period.

The spokesperson noted that the outage is necessary to create a safe working environment for the contractor. Completion, of the projects will put in place N-1 redundancy that would enable TCN supply bulk electricity to the substation from either the Benin or Ughelli transmission line.

Mbah said this means that when one transmission line is faulty, bulk electricity can still be received in the substation from the second line.

She said TCN apologises for the inconvenience electricity consumers supplied from the substation will experience within the period, but notes that the projects will help ensure a more flexible and consistent bulk power supply through Athe Amukpe Transmission Substation..
