TCN Faces Power Supply Disruption After Tower Collapse
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) experienced a significant infrastructure setback when heavy rainfall led to the collapse of three transmission towers (T78, T79, and T80) along the Karu-Keffi-Akwanga 132 kV transmission line corridor. This incident occurred at approximately 4:06 p.m. on Wednesday, resulting in the tripping of the 132kV Karu-Keffi-Akwanga single-circuit transmission line due to overcurrent relay protection.
As a consequence, all 33kV outgoing feeders at the 132/33kV Keffi and 132/33kV Akwanga transmission substations became unavailable. TCN promptly isolated the affected structures for safety following the collapse, which has significantly impacted power supply to the regions of Keffi and Akwanga.
