Transmission Company of Nigeria in a statement issued yesterday by the general manager, public affairs of TCN, Ndidi Mbah, disclosed that the load-shedding began in the three states on September 15, 2021 at the instance of NDPHC.
“NDPHC requested for power outage on the Makurdi –Jos portion of TCN’s Ikot Ekpene-Ugwuaji-Makurdi-Jos 330kV transmission line to enable it carry out transposition on the line and to connect the new Lafia substation. Connection works by NDPHC to its new Lafia substation have advanced and will soon be complete.
“Consequently, there is a slight load constraint in Kaduna, Kano, and Jos axis as the load from Ikot Ekpene – Ugwuaji – Makurdi has been cut off on the Makurdi – Jos axis as a result of the ongoing work. “Power supply through the Lafia – Jos 330kV line is to ensure that Jos gets electricity supply until NDPHC completes the connection of the new Lafia substation to the grid,” the statement said.
TCN said the connection work by NDPHC will increase the capacity of the national grid, adding “it regrets the inconveniences the slight load reduction would cost electricity consumers in the affected states.”
