The Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, has provided update on the ongoing restoration works along the 330kV Kainji–Birnin Kebbi Transmission Line.
This is following the collapse of tower T367 along the line corridor, recently.
TCN noted that significant progress has been recorded at the affected location in Yauri, where restoration activities are being carried out.
It said the collapsed transmission tower has now been completely dismantled and decommissioned, while the conductors and skywire have been properly aligned and prepared for the next stage of the restoration process.
In addition, it said that an Emergency Restoration System, ERS, tower has been moved to the site and is ready for installation.
It said this will be followed by cable stringing and associated works towards the restoration of the affected transmission line.
“Our engineers and technical personnel remain actively engaged at the site and are working hard to ensure a quick completion and restoration of the line,” a statement from the management said.
TCN said it appreciates the patience and understanding of electricity consumers and other stakeholders affected by the incident and assures the public that every effort is being made to restore the line and consequently, normal bulk transmission as soon as possible.
