TCN Begins Rehabilitation Of Two Critical Transmission Lines

The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has commenced the rehabilitation of two critical transmission lines within its Port Harcourt region.

The company’s general manager, Transmission Services, Engineer Ali Sharifai, said the 12-month project has become necessary due to the ageing state of the infrastructure, which has contributed to reduced wheeling capacity over time.

Highlighting the importance of the rehabilitation, the General Manager, Transmission, Port Harcourt Region, Engineer Akpa Emmanuel, explained that both lines are central to evacuating bulk electricity generated from the Afam Power Plants into the national grid.

He, however, assured that the upgraded lines will significantly enhance the reliability and stability of power supply across the region.

Recall that the contractors handling the project have been formally mobilised to begin reconductoring works on the lines during a handover ceremony held on Thursday, December 11, 2025.
