YEDC Announces Weeks-Long Power Outage for Maintenance

The Yola Electricity Distribution Company (YEDC) has announced a planned power outage lasting several weeks due to maintenance work being conducted by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN). This maintenance is part of an upgrade effort along the 276 km route of the YEDC.

The outage is scheduled to occur from April 9 to May 22, 2026, affecting customers in Adamawa, Taraba, and Yobe states. During this period, residents can expect daytime outages at least four days a week from 09:00 to 18:00 hours.

YEDC has expressed appreciation for the patience of its customers and urged them to remain vigilant to safeguard electrical assets within their communities to prevent vandalism. The announcement comes at a particularly challenging time for residents of Yola, who are experiencing high temperatures, making the absence of air conditioning and refrigeration more difficult during this maintenance period.
