The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) announces that rehabilitation work has commenced on two of its critical transmission lines within Port Harcourt Region.
Mrs Mbah, the General Manager, Public Affairs of the company, disclosed in a statement on Friday that during a handover ceremony held on December 11, 2025, contractors were formally mobilized to begin reconductoring works on the 38.6km Afam IPP–Port Harcourt and the 20.8km Afam IPP–Elelenwo 132kV double-circuit lines.
During the event, the General Manager, Transmission Services, Engr. Ali Sharifai, stated that the 12-month project has become imperative due to the ageing state of the infrastructure, which has contributed to reduced wheeling capacity over time.
Highlighting the importance of the rehabilitation, General Manager, Transmission, Port Harcourt Region, Engr. Akpa Emmanuel, explained that both lines are central to evacuating bulk electricity generated from the Afam Power Plants into the national grid.
He affirmed that the upgraded lines will significantly enhance the reliability and stability of power supply across the region.
