TCN Blames Lagos Power Outage on Damaged Transmission Lines
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has said, current power supply outage being experienced in most parts of Lagos is as a result of transmission lines snap.
The incident occurred between Towers 420 to 422 on the Omotoso – Ikeja West 330kV transmission line on Saturday, March 9, 2025.
The lines cut has resulted in a reduction of approximately 350MW of bulk electricity supply to Lagos area affecting both Eko and Ikeja Electricity Distribution Companies. This temporary drop in bulk power supply has caused significant load shedding within the Eko and Ikeja franchise areas.

The company, however, said, it has mobilised its engineers to the site and conveyed necessary materials to repair the snapped sections of the 330kV Omotoso – Ikeja West transmission line. The repair work is expected to be completed within three days, after which the full bulk power supply will be restored through the transmission line route.
The TCN apologizes for any inconvenience caused to the government, Eko and Ikeja Electricity Distribution companies, and electricity consumers in Lagos State.
