The company further stated that residents who wish to get more information about the current situation should call their number or visit the closest office.
On December 19, 2023, the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) said the Egbin power generating station would be shut down to allow the Nigeria Gas Company (NGC) to repair a pipeline supplying gas to the facility.
According to TCN, the shutdown will reduce 676 megawatts (MW) of bulk power generated into the nation’s grid for three days.
