TCN Reports Power Disruption in Port Harcourt Due to Labor Dispute
Electricity supply in parts of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, has been disrupted following a labor dispute between the management of Afam IV Gas Power Station and the National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE). The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) reported that the disruption began on September 28, 2026, when NUEE members opened the Afam–Alaoji 330-kilovolt Transmission Line 2 at the Alaoji 330kV Transmission Substation.
This action caused the 150-megavolt-ampere 330/132kV inter-bus transformer at Afam IV to trip, impacting bulk electricity transmission to Port Harcourt and surrounding areas. Affected infrastructure includes the Port Harcourt Town 132kV Transmission Substation and the Elelenwo 132kV Transmission Substation.
TCN is currently engaging stakeholders, including the Nigerian Independent System Operator, to restore electricity supply as soon as conditions allow. The company has apologized for the inconvenience caused and will provide updates on the situation.
