The Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO) has identified a faulty transformer at a transmission substation as the cause of recent power outages affecting eight local government areas in Kano State.
The utility provider confirmed that the malfunctioning equipment at the transmission facility was responsible for the disruption in electricity supply across the affected regions.
While the specific names of the eight local government areas were not detailed in the initial announcement, the scope of the outage indicates a significant impact on power distribution within the state.
KEDCO’s explanation highlights the critical role of transmission infrastructure in maintaining stable power flow to distribution networks, particularly in high-demand areas like Kano.
