The Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company, PHED, says electricity supply will be disrupted in part of Rivers capital between November 17 and November 19.
John Onyi, the company’s spokesman, disclosed this on Thursday, November 17, 2016 explaining that this is to enable PHED carry out repairs and upgrade some facilities.
He said the planned power outage would commence from 9am to 6pm daily during the period.
“Electricity customers within Port Harcourt metropolis will witness power outage starting from today, November 17 to November 19, 2016,” he said.
“The planned outage is to allow the technical crew from Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) carry out re-conduction of Afam 132kv lines.
“Therefore, power cuts will take place from 9am to 6pm on each day.”
Onyi said the repair work, when completed, would enable the company to provide improved electricity supply to users in the city.
He appealed to residents to exercise patience during the period.
