The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced a temporary disruption of electricity supply across several communities in Delta State as it carries out ongoing maintenance work at the Delta 132/33kV Transmission Substation.
In a statement shared on its official X handle on Friday, the company disclosed that the maintenance exercise commenced on June 4 and will run daily from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. until June 16, 2026.
According to TCN, the exercise is part of efforts to improve the reliability and efficiency of power infrastructure in the area.
“The maintenance is to facilitate the connection of a bus coupler circuit breaker and the rehabilitation of five isolators on the main busbar,” the statement said.
The company explained that several 33kV feeders supplied from the Effurun and Delta 132/33kV Transmission Substations will be temporarily shut down during the maintenance period.
The affected feeders include “Effurun, Warri, Sapele, Osubi, PTI, PMSL, Refinery I, Refinery II, Enerhen, Isoko/Kwale, Otovwodo/Patani, Ughelli/Shell, Agbarho/Eku, Aladja, Imoniyame and Beta Glass.”
As a result, customers connected to these feeders are expected to experience daily power interruptions throughout the maintenance period.
TCN, however, assured residents and businesses that electricity supply would be restored at the conclusion of each day’s maintenance activities.
“Power supply will be restored daily at 5:00 p.m., enabling Benin DisCo to offtake electricity for its customers, following the completion of each day’s maintenance activities,” TCN stated.
The company also expressed regret over the temporary inconvenience and appealed for understanding from affected electricity consumers.
“TCN apologises for every inconvenience caused by the ongoing maintenance exercise,” the statement added.
