TCN restores Aba–Itu 132kV transmission line after 31-hour outage
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) says it has restored the Aba–Itu 132kV transmission line after a fault disrupted electricity supply for more than 30 hours.
In a statement on Monday, the company said electricity supply was restored at 7:53 p.m. on Sunday.
“The outage, which commenced at 1:02 p.m. on Saturday, 7th November 2026, was caused by a fault on the transmission line,” the company said.
The company stated that its maintenance crew subsequently patrolled the line and carried out the necessary corrective measures, leading to its successful restoration.
“Following the restoration, Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company (PHEDC) has resumed the off-take of electricity for onward distribution to customers in Uyo, Eket, Ekim and Itu,” it noted.
The company assured electricity consumers of its continued commitment to the efficient transmission of bulk electricity.
