Ikeja Electric Plc on Monday said some communities under its franchise network in Lagos State will experience an eight-week power outage.
In a briefing, the Chief Technical Officer of the company, Jide Kumapayi, said the development was to enable the Transmission Company of Nigeria TCN to re-conduct its 132KV lines.
According to him, the upgrade is coming at a time when the capacity of most of the 132KV lines has become limited largely due to time and usage, leading to under-utilization.
Kumapayi, however, assured that the company’s technicians will be on standby to give support when needed during the upgrade.
