The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), says it has successfully energised the Ugwuaji – Apir 330kV transmission Line 2.
TCN’s General Manager, Public Affairs, Mrs Ndidi Mbah, announced the development in a statement on Thursday.
She explained that the line was energised by the company’s engineers today, 14th of November, 2024, at approximately 11.50am, after completing the repairs and stringing of damaged portions of the transmission line.
While disclosing that Apir and Jos Transmission Substations have picked loads, the GM stated that Jos , Kaduna, Kano, and Yola Distribution Companies will now pick more loads for onward distribution to customers within their franchise areas.
Recall 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. The restoration of bulk power through line 2 means that both lines are now in circuit.
Therefore, there will be substantial improvement of power supply to the North East and North West.
The company appreciated the patience and understanding of electricity customers in the Northern axis, who were affected by the incident.
