The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC and the National Independent System Operator (NISO) have granted the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) approval for a critical infrastructure upgrade in one of its 330kV lines wheeling bulk power to Lagos and its environs.
The upgrade involves the installation of Optical Ground Wire (OPGW) fibre cable on the Omotosho/Ikeja West 330kV transmission line, scheduled from July 28, 2025, to August 21, 2025 from 8 am to 5 pm.
While power will be restored through the line after each day’s work, all other circuits will remain operational to ensure a stable power supply to the Lagos complex during the exercise.
Upon completion, the upgrade will enable full operationalization of the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, enhancing real-time monitoring and management of the power grid.
