BEDC, TCN differ on power outage in Benin, others
THE Management of Benin Electricity Management Company, BEDC Plc, weekend, differed with the Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, over recent power outages in parts of Benin City and its environs.
State Head of BEDC, Fidelis Obishai said that the outage was occasioned by faulty transformers belonging to the Transmission Company of Nigeria.
Obishai explained that the TCN lost its 60MVA transformer on September 24, a development he said affected three major 33KV feeders belonging to the BEDC and connected to Ikpoba dam injection substation, Evbuotubu/Egor and Sapele road/Koko feeders.
But an official of TCN in Benin City told Vanguard yesterday that the company had fixed the transformer and that the BEDC should not shift the blame on it. “I can tell you that the said transformer has been fixed since Thursday morning”
