The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced the restoration of normal bulk power supply to Eko and Ikeja Electricity Distribution Companies for distribution to their Lagos State consumers.
Ndidi Mbah, the TCN Director of Public Affairs, said in a statement on Tuesday that the restoration came after a section of the 330-kilovolt Osogbo-Omotosho transmission line between towers 420 and 422 was successfully repaired.
According to her, the repairs were finished on March 15, 2025, at 8:55 p.m.
Lagos’s electricity supply was severely reduced due to a serious problem on the transmission company’s Omotoso-Ikeja west 330 kV transmission line, which was confirmed on March 11.
The company said the transmission line snapped between towers 420 and 422 on March 9, resulting in a drop of approximately 350 megawatts of bulk electricity supply to the state.
Mbah said the repair addressed a line snap, restoring lost power and resuming normal bulk transmission.
According to her, the load shedding caused by the line cut has been stopped.
The statement read, “The Transmission Company of Nigeria announces the restoration of normal bulk power supply to Eko and Ikeja Electricity Distribution Companies for onward distribution to their customers in Lagos State.
“The restoration follows the successful completion of repair works on a part of the 330kV transmission line, between towers 420 to 422 of the Osogbo-Omotosho line, which was completed at 8:55 pm on Saturday, March 15, 2025.
