The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) on Thursday disclosed that some communities in Ogun State will experience a six-hour power outage today, Thursday, May 14, 2026.

According to the TCN, the shortage of power in the communities followed a planned maintenance exercise between 10 am and 4pm today on the 40MVA 132/33KV power transformer at the McPherson Transmission Substation.

Following this, the TCN disclosed on its X handle that the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) will be unable to supply electricity to its customers in McPherson, University and Ogunmakin axis during the period of the maintenance.

The General Manager, Public Affairs, TCN, Ndidi Mbah said, “The maintenance exercise is to enable TCN crew to undertake preventive routine checks on the transformer to ensure continued optimal performance. Consequently, Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) will be unable to supply electricity to its customers in McPherson, University, and Ogunmakin during the period of the maintenance.”
