The Transmission Company of Nigeria has refuted claims by Kaduna Electric that a fault on the 330kV Jos transmission line contributed to reduced power supply across its franchise area.
In a statement on Thursday signed by the management of TCN, the company said all 330kV transmission lines connected to Jos were operational and transmitting bulk electricity.
TCN described Kaduna Electric’s claim as “false and a deliberate misrepresentation of facts,” saying there had been no disruption of bulk power transmission on any 330kV line supplying Jos since the restoration of the Jos–Lafia 330kV Line 2 circuit breaker.
The company explained that the circuit breaker was opened on August 23 for voltage control as part of a routine operation to maintain grid stability.
“For the avoidance of doubt, all 330kV transmission lines connected to Jos are in service and transmitting bulk power,” the statement said.
