Residents of Abuja are bracing for power disruptions in January as the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) announced plans for the relocation of key electrical infrastructure.
The planned operation will affect the 33KV DC Airport Feeder and 132KV Kukwaba-Apo Transmission Line Towers, both situated along the Outer Southern Expressway.
According to a statement shared on AEDC’s official X (formerly Twitter) handle, the relocation process will take place over several weeks, from January 6 to January 31, 2025. The disruption is necessary as part of the Federal Capital Development Authority’s (FCDA) ongoing projects in the area.
The statement clarified: “Please be informed that there will be power interruptions from January 6-21, 2025, due to FCDA relocating the 33KV DC Airport Feeder and 132KV Kukwaba-Apo Transmission Line Towers along the Outer Southern Expressway.”
