DAILY COURIER - The Ugwuaji-Apir transmission has come to life as the Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, has successfully energized it
The news that the Ugwuaji - Apir 330kV transmission Line 2 was energized early today today, 14th of November, 2024, at approximately 11.50am was contained in a statement made available to this medium on Thursday by the GM, Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah.
The statement indicated that the company completed the repairs and stringing of damaged portions of the transmission line.
It reads:" Earlier today, our engineers energized the lines, and now the
Apir and Jos Transmission Substations have 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 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 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."
