TCN Disputes AEDC's Claims on Abuja Power Supply Issues
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) issued a statement on Wednesday countering claims made by the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) regarding the reasons for poor electricity supply in Abuja. AEDC had stated that a tripping of transmission lines from the Shiroro Transmission Substation reduced its power allocation from approximately 641 megawatts (MW) to 314 MW, leading to load shedding across several feeders.
However, TCN described AEDC's statement as “inaccurate and misleading,” asserting that the reduction in power allocation was due to low generation on the national grid, not any tripping of transmission lines. TCN emphasized that all 330kV transmission lines within the Abuja Region were operational and that no tripping had occurred.
The company reiterated the importance of accurate information dissemination and its commitment to maintaining the stability and integrity of the national transmission grid.
