TCN Cancels Planned 10-Day Power Outage in Enugu

MainPower Electricity Distribution Limited (MEDL), a subsidiary of Enugu Electricity Distribution Company Plc (EEDC), has called off the 10-day power interruption earlier slated for some parts of Enugu State.

The company had on October 21 announced that the scheduled outage would run from October 22 to October 31, between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. daily, to allow for system maintenance.

However, in a new statement signed by Emeka Ezeh, Head of Communications at MEDL, the firm confirmed that the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) had cancelled the planned exercise.

“The MainPower Electricity Distribution Limited (MEDL) wishes to inform her esteemed customers in parts of Enugu that the planned outage which was originally scheduled from Wednesday, October 22, 2025, to Friday, October 31, 2025 between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m, has been cancelled,” the statement reads.

“The cancellation of the exercise as communicated by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) is due to unforeseen technical constraints.
