“TCN wishes to inform the public that its maintenance crew will conduct an annual preventive maintenance on the 2×100 Megavolt Ampere (MVA), TR3 & TR4 transformers at the Apo 132/33kV Transmission Substation in Abuja
”Consequently, on Saturday, the National Hospital G2, injection station, Garki, Area 1 and Asokoro will experience power interruption for seven hours.
”While on Sunday, APO Legislative Quarters, APO Resettlement, Gudu,APO Mechanic and surrounding areas will experience a seven -hour power interruption, ” It said.
The transmission company noted that the planned power interruptions are unavoidable, as Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) would be unable to receive bulk power supply from the transformers during the maintenance period.

It apologised for the inconveniences the maintenance exercise would cause the affected electricity customers
