TCN lifts suspension order on Port-Harcourt DisCo

The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) Tuesday lifted the suspension  and disconnection order on Port-Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company (PHEDC).

The lifting order was posted on TCN’s twitter handle @TCN _Nigeria.

TCN said lifting of the suspension order took effect from Monday.

According to TCN, lifting of the suspension followed the DisCo’s compliance with the market conditions/participation agreement.

PHEDC was suspended on July 28 for failing to comply with the Market Conditions/Market Participation Agreements.

Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO) is presently on suspension and has also been disconnected from the electricity market.

The KEDCO was  first suspended on July 21, and a second suspension order was also issued to the DisCo on August 6 for its inability to pay May 2019 Invoice in full.

In the last few weeks, similar suspension and disconnection orders had been issued against Enugu, Eko and Ikeja DISCOs over the same allegations of infraction of market rules.

TCN had earlier lifted the suspension on Enugu, Eko and Ikeja DISCOs after they complied with the market conditions/participation agreement.
