Succour To Northeasterners As TCN Restores Bulk Electricity Supply To Geopolitical zone

The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has successfully restored normal bulk electricity supply to the Northeast geopolitical  zone.

This follows the completion of  connecting  the new Bauchi 330/132kV Transmission Substation to the national grid, through the 330kV and 132kV Jos-Bauchi-Gombe Transmission Lines.

TCN recalled in a statement by its General Manager, Public Affairs, Mrs Ndidi Mbah, that the lines were initially switched off to enable the company to energize the new Bauchi Substation – one of the biggest substations in the region – to the grid.

She announced that the transmission lines had now been reconnected back to the grid for restoration of supply since the 19th of June at about 16:45 hours.

“With the project completed, bulk power transmission has been restored to Jos and Yola Electricity Distribution Companies, which supply electricity to customers in Bauchi, Gombe, Yobe, Damaturu, Adamawa, and Taraba States.

“This connection of the new substation to the national grid has enhanced power reliability, diversified transmission routes, and improved emergency response capabilities in the North Eastern region”, she declared.

Further, TCN expressed appreciation for  the patience and support of affected customers during the outage period.
