The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) and the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) have issued conflicting explanations over the recent reduction in electricity supply to Abuja and parts of the Federal Capital Territory.
The dispute followed an AEDC public announcement dated August 26, 2026, in which the company said transmission constraints were affecting electricity supply to Abuja and parts of its franchise area.
AEDC said the tripping of transmission lines supplying Abuja from the Shiroro Transmission Station since Tuesday, August 25, had “significantly reduced” the power available to it.
According to the company, its allocation dropped from approximately 641 megawatts to 314 megawatts, substantially affecting its ability to supply electricity to customers.
