The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) has explained that the reason for the significant reduction in its load intake in some parts of Abuja was due to the commencement of the installation of the 2x60MVA 132/33kV Gas Insulated Substation (GIS) by the TCN in Gwarinpa.
It said the exercise which commenced on 27th, October 2021 would last till November 9, 2021.
The DisCo made the disclosure via a statement issued at the weekend by the General Manager Corporate Communications, Oyebode Fadipe.
It said, as a result, the Company could only take 40MW out of the 140MW it hitherto received from TCN for distribution to customers fed from the Kubwa 2 X 60MVA 132/33kV transmission station (AT4).
Similarly, it said Kubwa TS serves Dawaki, Bwari, Deidei and Kubwa 33kV injection substations in Abuja stating that the 40MW is shared between Suleja and Kubwa transmission stations on the basis of 20MW each.
However, it said for the feeders not to be kept out completely, the load carried by the Kubwa 2 X 60MVA 132/33kV substation has been diverted to the Suleja transmission station and has led to the massive load shedding currently experienced by AED Plc customers who take power from the aforementioned feeders.
Areas affected include; Dawaki, Deidei, Kubwa, Gbazango, Suleja, Gwagwa, Iddu Karmo, parts of Life Camp and Gwarinpa, I-Pent Estate, EFAB Metropolis and Mab-Global Estate.
Others are Zuba, Kaduna Road, Bwari, Dutse, Lower Usman Dam, Dantata Estate, Kubwa, Zuma, Gauraka, Dikko, Deidei International Building Materials Market and environs.
“We, therefore, appeal to our customers to please bear with us as the exercise is intended to accommodate more demand and create room for improved service delivery,” the statement read.
