The Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, has announced the restoration of its Aba–Itu 132kV transmission line.
In a statement on Monday, TCN said the transmission line was restored on Sunday.
The restoration comes after a fault on the transmission line caused a power outage in Uyo, Eket, Ekim and Itu in Akwa Ibom State.
However, TCN said the Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company, PHEDC, could not offtake electricity for the affected areas during the outage.
“Following the restoration, Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company, PHEDC, has resumed the off-take of electricity for onward distribution to customers in Uyo, Eket, Ekim and Itu,” TCN stated.
