But last month, @EKEDP tweeted same thing about reduced power from TCN resulting in load shedding.

I'm confused. Is this a recent issue or being over a month?

How convenient, transmission lines severed n Saturday 8th March but the public is being notified on the 11th March (3 days later). Funny also that the repairs after mobilzation of engineers to site (we don't know when) will take 3 days to complete.So we are looking at about a week of no electricity (load shedding because it's already 3 days before bulletin was issued).....you see; how convenient 9ja

[quote author=AMI3 post=134501284]People get mind oo to even cut the power cable.

No wander we have not been getting light in our area[/quote]Cut 330kv wire?
Do you know what 330kv means?
Nothing alive except for some plants can live anywhere near that zone..
Something that would be crackling with static electricity.
The lines snapped cos of old age.
Most of the transmission lines haven't been replaced since the 70s. They were installed during early to mid 70s when the Grid experienced a boom and rapid expansion, since then, it's the same towers, cables and step down transformers we've been using.
TCN is the most useless of the bunch. They carry out no routine maintenance or replacement or old parts.. most of their equipment are decades old when demand for power was probably less than 2GW back in the day. Those wires ought to have been replaced years ago.
I foresee more 330kv lines snapping in due course. Most have reached their expiry period (50years).
Hope they don't start blaming terrorists and vandals for the snapping.

How convenient that coincidentally it happened around the period when some force men went to brutalize Ikeja electric staff!!

Only God knows what ttrully happen and who caused it

Thank God for solar and inverter

If not heat, for show me shege!

Who was the governor of Lagos and President of Nigeria when the Enron barge scam happened? Why were they not joined in this court case and all....like the Haliburton oil scam case and the Italian oil giant too?

Oyibo should be helping us chase these people too since we cannot help ourselves against their greed. It takes at least two hands to clap.

anonimi:
Is it not strange that more than two years after Buhari assented the constitution amendment to allow states generate power, Lagos has failed to resuscitate the Enron barge project, like they have done for the 1984 cancelled Jakande light rail. Stranger than fiction.

Nazgul:
Same here. Since last week our light has been epileptic.

I've wondering what's wrong... From 23hrs+ plus of light daily to just 5 hours since Saturday last at my area
