The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) says contrary to a statement currently in circulation by Kaduna Electric, dated 26/8/26, alleging transmission constraints affecting power supply to Jos and its environs, the claim is false and a deliberate misrepresentation of facts.
The TCN management in a press statement said, "For the avoidance of doubt, all 330kV transmission lines connected to Jos are in service and transmitting bulk power."
According to the company, it recorded a lone incident on 23rd August 2026 at 03:30hrs, when the Jos – Lafia 330kV Line 2 circuit breaker was opened for voltage control. This was a routine operational action to maintain grid stability. The line was successfully restored and back in service at 11:59hrs on 24th August 2026.
"There has been no outage or disruption of bulk electricity transmission on any 330kV line supplying Jos attributable to TCN since that restoration."
TCN also reiterates that it remain committed to transparency and to efficient transmission of bulk electricity to Distribution Companies nationwide. We urge Kaduna Electric and other stakeholders to verify facts with TCN before issuing statements that misinform the public and create unnecessary anxiety.
We appeal to electricity customers in Jos and environs to disregard the misleading information. TCN will continue to work with all Distribution Companies to ensure stable and reliable power delivery.
