TCN completed the repairs and stringing of damaged portions of the transmission line earlier today, enabling our engineers to energize the line.
A statement by TCN spokesperson, Ndidi Mbah, says Apir and Jos Transmission Substations have picked loads.
“Expectedly, Jos , Kaduna, Kano, and Yola Distribution Companies will now pick more loads for onward distribution to customers within their franchise areas”.
Spark News Daily recalls that the 330kV Ugwuaji – Apir transmission lines had been out of service since October 21st, 2024, due to the vandalism of the 330kV double circuit transmission lines 1&2. Line 1 was repaired and restored earlier on October 30, 2024.
Mbah said the restoration of bulk power through line 2 means that both lines are now in circuit, saying there will be substantial improvement of power supply to the North East and North West.
She appreciated the patience and understanding of electricity customers in the Northern axis, who were affected by the incident.
