The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has confirmed snap of transmission lines between Towers 420 to 422 spanning Omotoso – Ikeja West 330kV on Saturday, March 9, 2025.
This was disclosed in a statement issued by the transmission company’s General Manager, Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, on Tuesday.
The line cut, according to the statement, has resulted in a reduction of approximately 350MW of bulk electricity supply to Lagos area affecting both Eko and Ikeja Electricity Distribution companies.
“This temporary drop in bulk power supply has caused significant load shedding within the Eko and Ikeja franchise areas.
TCN has mobilised its engineers to the site and conveyed necessary materials to repair the snapped sections of the 330kV Omotoso – Ikeja West transmission line.
Repair work is expected to be completed within three days, after which the full bulk power supply will be restored through the transmission line route.
TCN apologises for any inconvenience caused to the government, Eko and Ikeja Electricity Distribution companies, and electricity consumers in Lagos State.
