The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has decided to suspend the planned power outage on the Osogbo/Akure and Ado-Ekiti 132KV transmission lines. This decision comes after an earlier announcement by the BEDC Electricity Plc (BEDC) that the outage was scheduled to last for two months.

Evelyn Gbiwen, the Head of Branding and Corporate Communications at BEDC, released a statement confirming the suspension of the planned outage. According to her, TCN has informed BEDC that the outage, originally set to take place from July 1 to August 31, has been suspended indefinitely. This means that BEDC’s services will continue without interruption until further notice from TCN.

The planned outage was initially intended to facilitate maintenance work on the 132KV Osogbo-Akure transmission line, including the installation of optical ground wire and other necessary activities that require outage for safety reasons.

BEDC has reassured its customers in Ondo and Ekiti states that despite the suspension of the planned outage, the company remains committed to providing uninterrupted electricity services and serving its customers better.

In summary, the power outage that was scheduled for Osogbo/Akure and Ado-Ekiti has been put on hold until further notice from TCN, allowing BEDC to continue its operations without disruption.
