Customers of the Ikeja and Eko Distribution Companies will experience a shortage of power supply for three days due to the occurrence of a transmission line snap between Towers 420 and 422 on the Omotoso-Ikeja West 330kV transmission line on Saturday, March 9, 2025.
In a statement, the GM, Public Affairs Unit, Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), Ndidi Mbah, said the cut resulted in a reduction of approximately 350MW of bulk electricity supply to the Lagos area, affecting both Discos, reports The Guardian.
Mbah also stated that the temporary drop in bulk power supply caused significant load shedding within the Eko and Ikeja franchise areas.
He said the TCN has mobilized 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,” Mbah said.
