The Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, has successfully energized the Ugwuaji - Apir 330kV transmission Line 2 today, 14th of November, 2024, at approximately 11.50am
TCN, in a statement by its Spokesperson, Ndidi Mbah said that the repairs and stringing of damaged portions of the transmission line was completed earlier today leading to the energization of the line.
The Company noted that the Apir and Jos Transmission Substations have picked loads as Jos , Kaduna, Kano, and Yola Distribution Companies are expected to 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.
TCN noted that 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.
We appreciate the patience and understanding of electricity customers in the Northern axis, who were affected by the incident.”
