In a statement posted on X, AEDC attributed the disruption to a maintenance exercise by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) on the 60MVA TR1 (3KUB-TR1) transformer at the 132/33kV Kubwa Transmission Substation.
Areas expected to be affected include Dawaki, Duste, Bwari, Kubwa, and Deidei and their surrounding environments.
