The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has restored bulk electricity supply to the northeastern region following the successful integration of the new Bauchi 330/132kV Transmission Substation into the national grid. This was achieved through the reconnection of the 330kV and 132kV Jos-Bauchi-Gombe transmission lines.
These lines were temporarily shut down to facilitate the energization of the Bauchi Substation—one of the region’s largest. With reconnection completed, power supply to the Northeast was fully restored on June 19 at approximately 4:45 p.m.
As a result, bulk electricity transmission has resumed to the Jos and Yola Electricity Distribution Companies, which serve consumers across Bauchi, Gombe, Yobe, Damaturu, Adamawa, and Taraba States.
The successful grid connection of the Bauchi substation enhances the reliability of electricity supply, offers alternative transmission routes, and strengthens emergency response capabilities across the region.
We extend our sincere appreciation to customers for their patience and understanding during the period of outage.
