The Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO) has announced a scheduled daily eight-hour power outage along two major transmission lines in its franchise area.
According to a public notice issued by the company, the outage will affect the Mando-Kumbotso 330kV line from January 17 to April 17, 2026, and the Shiroro-Mando 330kV line from January 17 to February 17, 2026.
Both will run on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm, reports Daily Trust.
KEDCO explained that the interruption is necessary to enable the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) to commence installation of Optical Ground Wire (OPGW) under the Nigeria Electricity Transmission Project.
The company assured customers that some areas may not experience the outage, as supply will be back-fed from alternative sources during the period.
The notice said, “We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to ensure a more reliable electricity supply across our franchise area.”
