NUEE Labor Dispute Halts Power Supply in Port Harcourt
On September 28, 2026, members of the National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) initiated a shutdown of the Afam to Alaoji 330kV Transmission Line 2 at the Alaoji 330kV Transmission Substation, resulting in a significant disruption of electricity supply in Port Harcourt and surrounding areas. This action was linked to an ongoing labor dispute between NUEE and the management of Afam IV Power Station.
The shutdown caused the 150MVA 330/132kV inter-bus transformer at Afam IV to trip, leading to the loss of bulk electricity transmission to various facilities, including the Port Harcourt Town 132kV Transmission Substation and the Elelenwo 132kV Transmission Substation. The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) is collaborating with the Nigerian Independent System Operator (NISO) to restore the affected facilities and has apologized to consumers for the inconvenience, promising updates as the situation evolves.
