    IKEJA WEST-OSOGBO 330KV LINE TRIP: THREE TOWERS AFFECTED- Says TCN

    Published on

     

    The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) announces that on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, at approximately 9:22 pm, the Ikeja-West/Osogbo 330kV line tripped, at a distance of about 14.9 km from Ikeja-West Transmission Substation. The incident occurred during windy rainfall, resulting in a load loss of 165 MW.

    A thorough investigation by TCN revealed extensive damage to Tower 528, which collapsed due to a trailer truck hitting detached conductors on Tower 527. The incident also affected Tower 526 and Tower 524.

    Our engineers are working diligently to repair the affected towers and ensure normal bulk power supply to Ikeja, Eko, and Ibadan DISCOs.

    Meanwhile, the 165 MW load loss has already been diverted through other lines to the affected DISCOs to minimize the impact of the incident on the affected DISCOs.

    The TCN remains committed to providing efficient and reliable transmission of bulk electricity nationwide.
