However, a statement from the Company’s General Manager of Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, confirmed that the electrical engineering team took action by isolating the impacted transformers on Sunday, March 10.
The TCN also reconfigured some cables to enable power supply to three feeders for Kano DisCo customers. Efforts are underway to fully restore power to the remaining feeders.
The fire reportedly originated from a sudden spark from the electrical oil pumping machine utilized for pumping oil back into a 60MVA power transformer that had recently undergone maintenance at the substation.
It was further mentioned that the Zaria, Club, CBN, and the second 15MVA power transformer feeders would be restored for bulk power supply by the conclusion of Monday, 11th March, after repair efforts on a punctured cable that commenced early in the morning.
