What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO) attributed the ongoing power outage in parts of the Kano metropolis to faults on the 132kV Kumbotso–Dan’Agundi transmission line. The issue followed a windstorm on September 21, which caused an earth-fault relay to trip. TCN engineers found multiple conductor cuts and tilted cross arms on the line, requiring isolation and repairs. KEDCO is currently working to restore power through alternative sources while TCN completes the necessary work.
