The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has informed the public that the 330kV Kainji–Birnin Kebbi Single Circuit Transmission Line, which was taken out of service following the collapse of Tower 367 on 7th September 2026, has been restored to service. This was contained in a statement signed by the Management of TCN.
The statement reads: “The line was restored at 5:24 pm today, 1 October 2026, following the erection of an Emergency Restoration System (ERS) tower at the tower location in Yauri.
“The restoration works involved dismantling and decommissioning the collapsed tower, aligning and preparing the conductors and skywire, erecting the ERS tower, and carrying out other associated works required to restore the line safely.
“TCN engineers worked round the clock to complete the works and return the line to service as quickly and safely as possible.
“TCN appreciates the patience and understanding of electricity consumers in the affected areas throughout the period of the outage and remains committed to maintaining a stable and reliable transmission network,” it also added.
