Electricity supply has been restored to the Sharada Industrial Zone in Kano after the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) completed its annual preventive maintenance at the Kumbotso 132kV Transmission Substation on Sunday, 8th November 2026.
TCN, in a statement on Monday, said the exercise, which began earlier that day, concluded at 5:17pm.
It covered one of the substation’s 60MVA 132/33kV power transformers, the associated earthing transformer and switchgear bay equipment.
TCN said the engineers also carried out preparatory work to enable the replacement of the faulty 33kV Gaida Feeder Circuit Breaker.
Following the completion of the work, it said, power has returned to the affected 33kV Dangote, Gaida and Spanish 2 feeders.
The Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO) has resumed offtake of power for onward distribution to its customers around the Sharada Industrial Zone.
TCN thanked electricity customers for their patience, understanding and cooperation during the maintenance period.
It also reaffirmed its commitment to improving the reliability and efficiency of Nigeria’s electricity transmission infrastructure.
