Successful Completion of Repairs

According to the statement, the restoration was made possible following the successful completion of repair works on a section of the 330kV transmission line between Towers 420 and 422 of the Osogbo-Omotosho transmission network.

The repairs, which addressed a snapped power line, were completed at 8:55 p.m. on Saturday, March 15, 2025.

Cause of Power Disruption

Last week, TCN attributed the drop in bulk power supply within the Eko and Ikeja franchise areas to a transmission line cut that occurred between Towers 420 and 422 on the Omotoso – Ikeja West 330kV transmission line on Saturday, March 9, 2025.

In an earlier statement, Mbah explained that this temporary drop in bulk power supply resulted in significant load shedding within the affected areas.

Impact of the Repair Works

The repair work on the transmission line successfully resolved the major disruption in power supply caused by the line snap.

During the repairs, TCN collaborated with the Lagos State Government and the affected distribution companies to minimize the impact on residents and businesses.

TCN’s Commitment to Grid Stability

TCN expressed appreciation for the patience and cooperation of the Lagos State Government, Eko and Ikeja Electricity Distribution Companies, and electricity consumers during the period of load shedding.

The company reiterated its commitment to maintaining a stable transmission network and responding swiftly to infrastructural challenges to minimize disruptions.

Industry experts emphasize the need for proactive maintenance and investment in Nigeria’s power infrastructure to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
