WorldStage Newsonline– The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) said it has successfully energised the Ugwuaji – Apir 330 Kilo Volt (kV) transmission Line with Jos , Kaduna, Kano, and Yola Distribution Companies expected to pick more loads for onward distribution to customers within their franchise areas.
Mrs Ndidi Mbah, TCN’S General Manager Public Affairs said in a statement that TCN completed the repairs and stringing of the damaged portions of the transmission line earlier on Thursday enabling its engineers to energide the line.
She said that presently, Apir and Jos transmission substations had picked loads
”Recall that the 330kV Ugwuaji – Apir transmission lines had been out of service since Oct. 21 due to the vandalism of the 330kV double circuit transmission lines 1and 2,” she said.
”Line 1 was repaired and restored earlier on Oct. 30.”
Mbah said that the restoration of bulk power through line 2 means that both lines were now in circuit. Therefore, there will be substantial improvement of power supply to the North East and North West.
She said that TCN appreciated the patience and understanding of electricity customers in the Northern axis, who were affected by the incident.
