The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has dismissed as false and misleading a statement by Kaduna Electric alleging transmission constraints affecting electricity supply to Jos and its environs.
In a statement issued on Thursday, TCN said all 330kV transmission lines connected to Jos are currently in service and transmitting bulk electricity.
The transmission company explained that the only recent incident occurred at about 3:30am on August 23, 2026, when the circuit breaker on the Jos–Lafia 330kV Line 2 was opened for voltage control.
According to TCN, the action was a routine operational measure undertaken to maintain grid stability, rather than a fault or prolonged transmission outage.
The company said the line was successfully restored and returned to service at 11:59am on August 24.
“Since that restoration, there has been no outage or disruption of bulk electricity transmission on any 330kV line supplying Jos attributable to TCN,” the company stated.
TCN described Kaduna Electric’s claim as a “deliberate misrepresentation of facts,” urging the distribution company and other stakeholders to verify information with TCN before issuing public statements on transmission-related matters.
It said inaccurate claims could misinform electricity consumers and create unnecessary anxiety.
The transmission company reaffirmed its commitment to transparency and efficient transmission of bulk electricity to distribution companies across the country.
TCN also appealed to electricity customers in Jos and surrounding areas to disregard what it described as the misleading information, assuring that it would continue working with distribution companies to ensure stable and reliable electricity supply.
