TCN schedules six-hour blackout in Ogun communities
The Transmission Company of Nigeria has announced a planned six-hour power outage that will affect several communities in Ogun State on Thursday, May 14, 2026.
In a statement shared on its X handle on Thursday, the company said the temporary blackout is necessary to allow engineers carry out scheduled maintenance on the 40MVA 132/33KV power transformer at the McPherson Transmission Substation.
According to TCN, the maintenance exercise will begin at 10:00 a.m. and end at 4:00 p.m.
The company explained that the routine preventive checks are aimed at improving the efficiency and reliability of the transformer to ensure stable electricity supply in the affected areas.
Residents and businesses in the impacted communities are expected to experience interruption in power supply during the maintenance period.
As a result of the exercise, the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) will be unable to supply electricity to customers in McPherson, University, and Ogunmakin areas during the maintenance period.
TCN stated that the planned work is necessary to improve service delivery and reduce the risk of unexpected faults on the transmission network.
The General Manager, Public Affairs, TCN, Ndidi Mbah said, “The maintenance exercise is to enable TCN crew to undertake preventive routine checks on the transformer to ensure continued optimal performance. Consequently, Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) will be unable to supply electricity to its customers in McPherson, University, and Ogunmakin during the period of the maintenance.”
The company also apologised to residents and businesses affected by the temporary interruption, urging consumers to bear with the inconvenience while the maintenance is completed.
