NISO announces planned outage on Jos-Bauchi-Gombe transmission line
The Nigerian Independent System Operator (NISO) says it is carrying out a planned outage on the Jos–Bauchi–Gombe 330 Kilo Volt (KV) transmission line scheduled from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturday.
The management of NISO said this in a statement in Abuja on Saturday.
It said that the outage was to enable the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) carry out the connection of the Optical Ground Wire (OPGW) on the 330kV line.
The system operator said that during the outage the Bauchi, Gombe, Yola and surrounding areas are expected to experience an interruption in power supply.
”The Jos–Bauchi–Gombe 132kV transmission line will also be taken out of service to ensure a safe working environment for the maintenance activity.
”The installation of the OPGW forms part of ongoing efforts to strengthen transmission infrastructure and enhance the reliability, monitoring and communication capabilities of the national grid,” it said.
The system operator commended electricity market participants and electricity consumers in the affected areas for their understanding and cooperation.
”We regret any inconvenience the temporary interruption may cause,” it said.
