The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced that its 330kV Shiroro – Katampe transmission line was vandalized on Wednesday, 18th December 2024.
At approximately 11:43 pm, the 330kV Shiroro – Katampe circuit lost supply on the grid. A trial reclosure was attempted, but the line tripped again immediately.
The statement disclosed that TCN lines patrol team was dispatched from the Abuja Regional office of TCN to investigate the cause of the fault. The team discovered that vandals had stolen part of the conductor between towers T216 and T218.
The TCN lines maintenance crew has since mobilized to the site and is working assiduously to replace the vandalized 330kV power conductor. Restoration of bulk power supply through the affected line is expected soon.
The Company, however, appeal to the general public to assist in identifying and reporting suspicious activities around power transmission infrastructure. “Your vigilance and cooperation are crucial in helping us to prevent acts of vandalis or apprehend the culprits.”
