TCN announces electricity supply restoration in Lagos hours after blackout
The Transmission Company of Nigeria has announced the restoration of electricity in parts of Lagos and its environs hours after the outage.
The spokesperson of TCN, Ndidi Mbah, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday, announcing that Benin-Egbin 330 kilovolt transmission has been restored.
According to TCN, an electricity supply disruption had occurred around 8:19 am on 25th June 2026 in Lagos.
TCN explained that the national grid experienced voltage instability, which rapidly spread across the Lagos corridor, leading to the loss of some generating stations, causing transmission line outages, and the subsequent interruption of electricity supply to Lagos and its environs.
However, the interventions of the minister of power, Joseph Tegbe, and other agencies in the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry resulted in the quick resolution of the fault.
“We are pleased to report that one of the affected lines, the Benin–Egbin 330kV transmission line, which was opened during the incident, has already been restored and is currently transmitting bulk electricity. A combined team of TCN engineers from the Benin and Omotoso subregions are, however, working assiduously to rectify the remaining faults on the 330kV Benin-Omotoso transmission line to ensure full restoration of bulk power supply to the Lagos complex as quickly as possible.
TCN added that it is working to restore the Benin-Omotoso transmission 330 kV line, which affected bulk power supply to customers of Eko Electricity Distribution Company and the Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company.
“We urge all affected consumers to please exercise patience as we work to restore bulk power supply through the Benin – Omotoso transmission line. Updates will be provided as restoration progresses,” TCN stated.
