The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has informed electricity Distribution Companies (DisCos) in the North East that the region will experience a blackout or a significant reduction in electricity supply from June 10 to June 14.
According to a letter signed by Engr. J.O. Joseph, TCN’s Regional Operations Manager for the Bauchi Region, this is due to the erection of 330kV Turn-In and Turn-Out towers at the new Bauchi 330kV Substation transmission lines.
The outage will specifically impact the Jos-Bauchi-Gombe 132kV line.
“With respect to the above subject matter, an outage has been scheduled from 1000hrs of 10th-1700hrs of 14th June, 2025 to enable EPC contractor erect new 330kV Turn-In and turn-Out Towers at the new Bauchi 330kV Substation and cross the existing 132kV Line.
“Note that after a review of the contractor’s schedule, the breakdown is as follows; Jos-Gombe SC Line will be out for the stated duration to enable the erection of new towers for the turn-in and out at the new Bauchi 330kV substation. This means that Damaturu, Molai, Yola and Jalingo will be out of supply while Gombe and Biu substations will be fed through Dadin Kowa Hydro power plant and Baga Road substation will be fed by MEPP.
