Ikeja Electric has disclosed a planned 25-day power outage in parts of Lagos State to facilitate essential maintenance by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN).
The announcement was made via the company’s official social media platforms on Friday, July 25, 2025.
The daily power interruptions, scheduled from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, will commence on Monday, July 28, and conclude on Thursday, August 21, 2025.
According to Ikeja Electric, the outages are necessary to support TCN’s maintenance work on the Omotosho–Ikeja West 330kV transmission line, a critical component of Nigeria’s power grid connecting the Omotosho Power Station in Ondo State to Ikeja West, a major transmission hub in Lagos.
During this period, customers may experience intermittent power supply and load shedding across Ikeja Electric’s network.
The company has advised residents, businesses, and industries within its coverage areas to anticipate disruptions during working hours and plan accordingly, including exploring alternative power solutions.
While specific affected neighbourhoods have not yet been detailed, Ikeja Electric encourages customers to stay updated via its official communication channels for load rotation schedules and contingency plans.
The maintenance coincides with heightened demand for reliable electricity in Lagos during the peak dry season.
