The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced the successful restoration of the Aba–Itu 132kV transmission line following an outage caused by a fault.
TCN said the line was restored at 7:53 p.m. on Sunday, November 8, 2026, after its maintenance crew carried out repairs and corrective measures.
The outage began at 1:02 p.m. on Saturday, November 7, 2026, prompting the company's maintenance team to patrol the affected transmission line to identify and rectify the fault.
In a statement signed by TCN Management on Monday, the company said the restoration had enabled the Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company (PHEDC) to resume electricity offtake for distribution to customers in Uyo, Eket, Ekim and Itu.
TCN reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring efficient transmission of bulk electricity and improving power supply across the country.
