Which feeders and communities are named?
The three named 33kV feeders are UNN, SUMAS and Orba. NAN’s account carried by Peoples Gazette also attributes the schedule and feeder information to Ezeh’s statement.
Reported affected places include:
Ukopi, Opi Agu, Eha-Alumona, Orba Town, Obollo-Afor and parts of Obollo-Eke.
Enugu Ezike, Ibagwa, Nkalagu Obukpa, Okpaligbo, Iheaka, Edem Ani and Agbani.
Uzo-Uwani, Obimo, Nkpologu, Lejja, Nguru, Aku, Ogbede and surrounding communities.
Odim Gate, Nkpor, Nru, Ede Oballa, El Tabera Estate, Ikenga Estate, Wilson Company, Umakashi, Isiakpu, G.R.A., Ogige Main Market and the University of Nigeria, Nsukka.
This is a reported locality list, not a street-by-street network map. In particular, the reference to “parts of Obollo-Eke” should not be expanded into a claim about the whole community. Nor does a familiar place name establish which feeder serves every nearby building.
Ask MainPower to confirm your account’s feeder and whether your specific connection falls within the maintenance area. A neighbour’s experience can help identify a local problem, but it cannot replace confirmation about your own supply route.

What households and businesses can prepare
Use the published daytime window to plan essential charging, work and appointments. Charge phones and power banks beforehand where supply is available, and keep important contact details accessible offline.
For students, downloading reading material and saving work locally can reduce dependence on a live connection during the interruption. Shops and other businesses can identify which tasks require electricity and tell customers in advance if those services may be interrupted. These are planning suggestions, not additional instructions issued by MainPower.
If using a generator, follow the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s carbon-monoxide guidance: operate it outside, more than 20 feet—about six metres—from windows, doors and vents. Never operate it inside a home or garage, even with openings left open. The CDC also recommends a battery-powered or battery-backup carbon-monoxide detector in the home when a generator is used.
Where to check a connection or report a problem
Start with the service contact shown on your current MainPower bill or other current company communication. Ask a specific question: which feeder serves the account, whether the maintenance notice covers it, and whether the timetable has been revised.

For unresolved consumer-protection concerns, the Enugu State Electricity Regulatory Commission’s contact page lists ccrd@eerc.en.gov.ng for its Consumer Complaints Resolution Division and 07072051569 as the commission’s telephone number. These are regulator contacts, not a TCN maintenance hotline.
Keep the account reference, location, dates of interruption, any complaint number and the utility’s response. Provide personal account details through the appropriate private channel rather than posting them publicly.
EERC has also documented MainPower’s Quick Response Service, introduced for fault resolution and complaint handling. That service’s existence does not guarantee a particular restoration time during this maintenance exercise.
The next useful update is a dated MainPower confirmation of the affected feeders and any change to the timetable. Check again before 5 November, especially if a forwarded message omits the daily hours or presents the notice as a statewide blackout.
