The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) has assured its customers in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) that they will begin to enjoy full power supply from February 23.
The company said this in a statement on its X handle on Monday.
It said the ongoing restoration efforts by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) on the underground transmission line damaged by vandals near Millennium Park in Abuja, will be completed by February 23.
“The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has assured that restoration efforts are actively ongoing, with their engineers’ working day and night to replace and reconnect the damaged cable.
“TCN is committed to complete the work and restore normal power supply to Central Area Transmission Substation (AT5) on Feb. 23,” the AEDC said.
The company said that it regrets the continued power supply disruption affecting Wuye, Utako, Jabi, Mabushi and Katampe Districts as well as Life Camp, Wuse Zones 1-7, Wuse 2, Maitama, parts of the Central Business District (CBD) and surrounding areas.
The AEDC attributed the power disruption to the vandalisation of the 132kV Katampe – Central Area underground transmission cable.
“We understand the inconvenience this may cause you and sincerely appreciate your patience. While repair work continues, load management will be implemented to optimise available supply.
“We remain in close collaboration with TCN to ensure a swift resolution and the full restoration of power to the affected areas,” it said.
