The FCT has experienced prolonged outages in recent times.
On April 10, the AEDC announced a power outage in parts of the FCT.
In January, the AEDC announced that power supply in Abuja would be disrupted due to the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) relocating feeder and transmission line towers along the outer southern expressway.
In December 2024, power supply in some parts of the FCT was disrupted due to maintenance exercises by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN).
