TCN restores bulk power supply to Apo transmission substation
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), on Friday, announced the restoration of full bulk power to its 132/33 Kilo Volt (KV) Apo transmission substation in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Ndidi Mbah, TCN’s general manager of public affairs, announced on its X handle that power was restored to the substation on Thursday.
Ms Mbah said that the restoration followed the successful relocation of eight 132kV and 33kV towers along the Kukwaba/Apo 132kV line Southern Expressway route.
She said that the relocation of the towers was necessitated by the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) road dualisation project along the Apo axis.
”The two-week relocation work, which commenced on January 6, involved dismantling and reconstructing the towers, as well as restringing power cables.
”With the restoration of full bulk power, Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) can now provide normal electricity supply from the substation to its customers in the affected areas, ending the previous load rationing.
“The TCN appreciates the patience and understanding of the affected electricity consumers during this period,” she said.
