TCN announces planned 10-hour outage in Ondo communities

The Transmission Company of Nigeria, Benin Region, has announced a scheduled outage at its Ondo 132/33kV Transmission Substation on Tuesday, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

TCN’s General Manager, Public Affairs, Mrs Ndidi Mbah, disclosed this in a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday.

According to Mbah, the planned outage is to enable TCN engineers to transfer the Ife-Ondo 132kV transmission line from the proposed Omotosho-Ondo 132kV line bay to the Ife-Ondo 132kV line bay.

She said the inauguration of a newly installed 60 Mega Volt Ampere (MVA) 132/33kV transformer would be carried out simultaneously at the substation.
