    TCN sets June 19 to restore power supply to Kebbi 

    Published on

    Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced that full power supply will be restored to Kebbi State on or before Thursday June 19, 2025.

    The residents of the state have experienced nearly two months of blackout due to the collapse of critical transmission towers along the Kainji–Birnin Kebbi 330kV line.

    Additional tower collapses in Galadima Village, Shanga LGA, caused by a windstorm, have worsened the power situation.

    To keep parts of the state running, limited power has been rerouted from Shiroro Power Station, while residents and businesses have relied on generators and solar panels as their alternative sources.

    TCN, in its latest update, said reconstruction works on the damaged towers are now in the final phase. Contractors are reportedly working round the clock to meet the June 19 deadline.

    Once completed, Kebbi will be reconnected to the national grid via the Kainji–Birnin Kebbi line, restoring stable electricity to homes, businesses, and essential services, particularly as demand continues to rise during the rainy season.
