The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has refuted a claim by Kaduna Electric that transmission constraints are affecting electricity supply to Jos and its environs, describing the allegation as false and a misrepresentation of facts.

TCN, in a statement signed by its Management and issued on Thursday, August 27, 2026, said all 330kV transmission lines connected to Jos are currently in service and transmitting bulk electricity.

The company explained that the only recent incident occurred at about 3:30 a.m. on August 23, when the Jos–Lafia 330kV Line 2 circuit breaker was opened for voltage control as part of routine measures to maintain grid stability.

According to TCN, the line was successfully restored and returned to service at 11:59 a.m. on August 24.

It stressed that there had been no outage or disruption of bulk electricity transmission on any 330kV line supplying Jos attributable to TCN since the restoration of the line.

TCN urged Kaduna Electric and other stakeholders to verify operational information with the transmission company before issuing public statements, warning that inaccurate claims could misinform electricity consumers and create unnecessary anxiety.

The company also appealed to electricity customers in Jos and surrounding areas to disregard what it described as misleading information.

TCN reaffirmed its commitment to transparency and efficient transmission of bulk electricity to Distribution Companies across the country, adding that it would continue to work with all stakeholders to ensure stable and reliable electricity supply.
