The Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, has explained that the electricity disruption in parts of Lagos State is due to transmission lines snapping between Towers 420 and 422 on the Omotosho-Ikeja West 330-kilovolt line on Saturday, March 9, 2025.......CONTINUE READING THE ARTICLE FROM THE SOURCE>>>>>
The company’s spokesperson, Ndidi Mbah, made this known in a statement on Monday.
According to TCN, the incident has led to a reduction of approximately 350 megawatts of bulk electricity supply to the Lagos area, affecting both Eko and Ikeja Electricity Distribution Companies.
TCN stated that it has mobilized its engineers to fix the problem and noted that repair work is expected to take three days, after which normal power supply will be restored to the affected areas.
“The line cut has resulted in a reduction of approximately 350 MW of bulk electricity supply to the Lagos area, affecting both Eko and Ikeja Electricity Distribution Companies. This temporary drop in bulk power supply has caused significant load shedding within the Eko and Ikeja franchise areas.
“TCN has mobilized its engineers to the site and conveyed the necessary materials to repair the snapped sections of the 330kV Omotoso-Ikeja West transmission line. Repair work is expected to be completed within three days, after which the full bulk power supply will be restored through the transmission line route.
“TCN apologizes for any inconvenience caused to the government, Eko and Ikeja Electricity Distribution Companies, and electricity consumers in Lagos State,” the statement read.
Meanwhile, outside Lagos State, electricity consumers have lamented the drop in electricity supply in most parts of the country.
