TCN Reports Power Disruption in Keffi and Akwanga Areas
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) reported a temporary unavailability of all 33kV outgoing feeders at the 132/33kV Keffi and Akwanga Transmission Substations following the collapse of three transmission towers (T78, T79, and T80) along the Karu-Keffi-Akwanga 132kV transmission line corridor. This incident occurred at approximately 4:06 p.m. on October 7, 2026, during adverse weather conditions characterized by rain and wind.
The 132kV Karu-Keffi-Akwanga Single Circuit Transmission Line tripped on overcurrent relay protection, prompting TCN to isolate the affected section for safety. Consequently, no load can be nominated on the affected feeders until further notice.
TCN's engineers are currently assessing the damage and determining the materials needed for restoration work. The company expressed regret for the inconvenience caused to electricity customers and assured the public that updates would be provided as restoration efforts progress.
