Abuja: The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has successfully restored the 330 Kilo Volt (KV) Shiroro-Mando Transmission Line 2, following the completion of repair works. The company’s General Manager, Public Affairs, Mrs. Ndidi Mbah, announced in a statement on Monday that the line was energized after TCN’s engineers concluded extensive technical interventions.
According to News Agency of Nigeria, Mbah stated that the intervention aimed to ensure the integrity and operational reliability of the infrastructure. She added that the restoration was executed with strict adherence to safety and quality standards.

This restoration reinforces bulk electricity transmission to the Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company franchise area, enhances network flexibility, and strengthens overall system reliability.
Mbah highlighted that the return of both lines marks a significant milestone in TCN’s ongoing efforts to strengthen the transmission backbone and ensure reliable electricity delivery across its network. She expressed appreciation for the cooperation and understanding of customers and stakeholders during the period of outage, reaffirming the company’s commitment to building a resilient and efficient national grid.
