The Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company Plc (IBEDC) says there will power outages in parts of Ogun state from July 28, (today).
In a notice on Monday, the distribution company (DisCo) said the supply disruption is due to a scheduled maintenance by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN).
The IBEDC said the planned maintenance will take place on the Omotosho-Ikeja west 330kV transmission line from July 28 to August 21, between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm daily.
“As a result, customers in Ogun State, except those in ljebu Ode, Sagamu Town, and Ogunmakin, will be experiencing a planned outage during this period,” the DisCo said.
“We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.”
On July 25, the Ikeja and Eko Electricity distribution companies (IKEDC and EKEDC) announced that customers within their network areas would experience intermittent power supply and load shedding as a result of the maintenance by TCN.
The DisCos said the outage is necessary to allow for the safe execution of maintenance work on the power line, apologising for any resulting inconvenience.
