Lagos to experience blackout as TCN plans maintenance outage

 




By liberty news.blog

Lagos State residents are going to witness  blackout as the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) embarks on a planned maintenance operation that is expected to last four days, the Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) has announced.

According to a customer notice issued by EKEDC on Friday, the outage will take place from Monday, July 28, to Thursday, August 21, 2025, running daily from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.


The company explained that the disruption is necessary to allow TCN to carry out critical maintenance works on the Omotosho – Ikeja West 330kV power line. The repair activity is expected to lead to intermittent power outages and load shedding across EKEDC’s distribution network, which covers key areas of Lagos.


“Kindly be informed that there will be a planned outage by our partner, Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN)… to enable works to be safely carried out,” EKEDC said in the notice.


Although maintenance is essential for the long-term reliability of power infrastructure in the region, customers have been advised to prepare for potential disruptions during the affected period.


“We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this may cause. Do kindly bear with us,” the company added.


The planned outage adds to the ongoing concerns about electricity supply reliability in Nigeria’s commercial capital, where businesses and households often rely on backup generators due to the erratic nature of the grid power.
