Omeiza Bilal

The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) says it has restored full bulk power to its 132/33kV Apo Transmission Substation, effective Thursday, January 23, 2025.

According to GM, Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, in a statement, the restoration followed the successful relocation of eight 132kV and 33kV towers along the Kukwaba/Apo 132kV line (Southern Expressway route), necessitated by the Federal Capital Development Agency’s (FCDA) road dualization project along the Apo axis.

“The two-week relocation work, which commenced on Monday, January 6, 2025, involved dismantling, and reconstructing the towers, as well as restringing power cables.

“With the restoration of full bulk power, Abuja DisCo can now provide normal electricity supply from the substation to its customers in the affected areas, ending the previous load rationing.

“TCN appreciates the patience and understanding of the affected electricity consumers during this period,” she said in the statement.
