The Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, has successfully energized the Ugwuaji – Apir 330kV transmission Line.
TCN completed the repairs and stringing of damaged portions of the transmission line which enabled the engineers to energize the line.
The General Manager, Public Affairs of the Company, Ndidi Mbah in a statement added that Apir and Jos Transmission Substations have picked loads.
According to the statement, 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 company added that restoration of bulk power through line 2 means that both lines are now in circuit adding that, there will be substantial improvement of power supply to the North East and North West.
TCN appreciated the patience and understanding of electricity customers in the Northern axis, who were affected by the incident.
