The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced the restoration of full bulk power to its 132/33kV Apo transmission substation, following the successful relocation of eight 132kV and 33kV towers along the Kukwaba/Apo 132kV line, Southern Expressway route.

This was earlier necessitated by the Federal Capital Development Agency (FCDA) road dualisation project along the Apo axis.

The two-week relocation work, which commenced on Monday, January 6, 2025, involved dismantling, and reconstructing the towers, as well as restringing power cables.

“With the restoration of full bulk power, Abuja Distribution Company (Disco) can now provide normal electricity supply from the substation to its customers in the affected areas, ending the previous load rationing. TCN appreciates the patience and understanding of the affected electricity consumers during this period,” the transmission company said in a statement.
