Bearing in mind that power supply in the area will be disrupted during the work hours, TCN apologised for the inconveniences and solicit the support and understanding of the Lagos State government and electricity consumers in the affected areas, to enable the successful completion of the project as it is aimed to improve power supply to them in the course of time.
“As the area continues to experience continued increase in human population and socio-economic activities, the demand for electricity will continue to grow and if the line is left without upgrade, electricity supply would soon become impossible in the area,” the statement said in part.
TCN said works on the replacement of the old 132kV transmission line lasts from 8am to 5pm daily after which light is restored by 6pm in the evening to 8am in the morning, adding that the exercise is to continue for about 4 weeks from now.
