The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) is set to reconnect the three electricity distribution companies earlier disconnected from the national grid for non-compliance with market rules.

Recall that Kano DisCo, Kaduna Electric and APLE Electric were disconnected by the TCN, a situation which left customers in their franchise areas in total darkness for days.

Market Operator, TCN, in a statement signed by Mr Edmund Eje in Abuja on Sunday, said that the DisCos would be reconnected by midnight on May 1, following the intervention of the Minister of Power, Mr Abubakar Aliyu.

He said that the TCN agreed to restore power supply to the DisCos in view of the collateral consequences on paying customers.

Eje, however, said that the disconnected defaulting market participants have only 60 days within which to honour their obligations to the market operator.

“The intervention by the minister has automatically prolonged the grace period to 60 days from this publication.

“All market defaulters should comply with the provisions of the market rules with respect to payment of their outstanding invoices.

“Posting of adequate bank guarantees, and forwarding of their active Power Purchase Agreements as the case may be, to the market operator/TCN,” he said.

According to him, other defaulters yet to be disconnected should also do the needful within 60 days.

He said that at the expiration of the grace period, the TCN will resume sanctions in line with the market rules.

“The MO/TCN is hereby urging the erring DisCos to seize this opportunity to fix their defaults as we applaud the intervention of the minister of power,” he added.

Geo metrics in Aba was disconnected about a month ago. They disconnected Kaduna and Kano just for one day and all of a sudden something called grace.

Hmm! The minister is only defending Kaduna alone

Nigeria is dying a natural death but you all keep deceiving yourselves. I have checked all indeces, made analysis, extrapolated and projected forwards, and all I can see is a dead end.

Peter Obi probably could have have helped to reengineer the country but that opportunity was missed. Instead what should have been a rallying moment turned into a disaster.

Charles Darwin's theory is playing out on Nigeria and you can't save something that can't be saved.

Why are you people not complaining about it?

I even thought Aba Electricity has been reconnected because nobody is talking about the issue

Only in Nigeria
U pay for Not having light

Who offend TCN like this??

For ing injustice, may injustice happen to you all your life. That's the karmic law.

Aba has only to blame its senators and governor. Whosoever appealed for an extension, should be the desired quality the rest of us should desire in our representatives.

Why should Aba alone have its own Electricity distribution company alone supplied from TCN when the city also has a private Geometric Power Station with 140 Mwatts serving the city alone?

There is definitely something in that Aba that Nigerians don't know.

Why is aba power using TCN?

They have a power plant, since they have a disco,am amazed the transmission leg is missing in the setup.

Nice.

How about they publish what they are owing so certain people can be held able to the nearest figure.

TCN should press on Prepaid meters instead of all these child's play. Then it would be easy for them to monitor who pays who

Its all about power grid, if people are willing to press forward of Gencos supplier their local areas 1st before going to the National Grid, wont that be awesome?
