The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), says it has successfully energised the Ugwuaji – Apir 330 Kilo Volt (kV) transmission Line.
Mrs Ndidi Mbah, TCN’S General Manager Public Affairs said this in a statement in Abuja on Thursday..
Mbah said that TCN completed the repairs and stringing of the damaged portions of the transmission line earlier on Thursday enabling itd engineers to energide the line.
She said that presently, Apir and Jos transmission substations had picked loads
”Expectedly, 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 Oct. 21 due to the vandalism of the 330kV double circuit transmission lines 1and 2.
”Line 1 was repaired and restored earlier on Oct. 30,” she said.
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 appreciates the patience and understanding of electricity customers in the Northern axis, who were affected by the incident.
