The Transmission Company of Nigeria has announced a 20-minute interruption of power supply in parts of Suleja and environs on Saturday, September 26, 2026, as part of its annual preventive maintenance programme.
The maintenance of the Gwarinpa–Suleja 132/33kV Line 2 bay switchgear and associated equipment is scheduled to take place between 1pm and 4pm.
In a statement on Friday, TCN said the exercise would require a temporary interruption to enable the transfer of load from Gwarinpa–Suleja Line 2 to Kubwa–Suleja Line 1.
It said customers of the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company in Suleja Township, FCT College of Education, Field Base, Zuba, Sabon Wuse and surrounding areas would be affected.
TCN explained that the load transfer would allow the maintenance work to be carried out safely without causing a prolonged outage.
“The interruption is to enable the transfer of load from Gwarinpa–Suleja Line 2 to Kubwa–Suleja Line 1 to facilitate the maintenance exercise without a prolonged outage,” the company said.
The transmission company apologised to affected customers for the inconvenience, adding that the exercise was aimed at maintaining the reliability of the transmission network.
