The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced further progress in the ongoing rehabilitation of the 330kV Kainji-Birnin Kebbi Transmission Line following the recent collapse of Tower T367 along the transmission corridor.
According to TCN, significant restoration work has been completed at the affected section in Yauri, where engineers and technical personnel are currently carrying out repairs.
The company said the collapsed tower has been completely dismantled and decommissioned, while the conductors and skywire have been properly aligned and prepared for the next phase of the restoration.
TCN added that an Emergency Restoration System (ERS) tower has also been transported to the site and is ready for installation.
The installation of the ERS tower will be followed by cable stringing and other associated works required to restore the affected section of the transmission line.
The company said its engineers and technical teams remain fully deployed at the site and are working to complete the restoration as quickly as possible.
TCN expressed appreciation to electricity consumers and other stakeholders affected by the incident for their patience and understanding, assuring that all necessary efforts are being made to restore the line and normal bulk power transmission as soon as possible.
