The MainPower Electricity Distribution Limited (MEDL) has announced that the technical maintenance being carried out by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) on key power transformers in Enugu has only been partially completed.
In a statement issued on Thursday in Enugu, the Head of Communications at MainPower, Mr. Emeka Ezeh, explained that the scheduled works, which began on October 1, 2025, were yet to be concluded.
Ezeh noted that as a result, electricity supply had been restored to some areas, while several communities remain without power. According to him, the Kingsway (Lines 1 and 2) and Emene Industrial (Lines 1 and 2) 33KV feeders are back in service.
However, the Trans-Ekulu, Thinkers Corner, Ituku Ozalla, and Ugwuogo 33KV feeders are still out of service pending completion of the maintenance.
Affected areas include Trans-Ekulu, Ugbo Odogwu, NOWAS and surrounding communities, Ugbene 2, the entire Abakpa area, Nike communities, the National Orthopaedic Hospital, 82 Division, Area Command and Thinkers Corner. Other locations such as parts of Emene, New Haven Extension, Amechi, Amechi and Agbani Roads, Mayor, Idaw River, sections of Garki, Obeagu and Akwuke are also currently experiencing outages.
He assured customers that the ongoing work is expected to be completed later today, after which supply will be fully restored.
“We sincerely regret the inconvenience this development may have caused our esteemed customers,” Ezeh stated.
“MainPower remains committed to delivering reliable and satisfactory service at all times.”
