A transmission tower collapse has caused disruption to bulk electricity transmission. The incident occurred on the Kainji-BirninKebbi line, resulting in a declaration of force majeure. Preliminary findings suggest heavy winds and rainstorms led to the collapse.
The transmission line initially tripped late on Monday, with a attempted re-closure failing. A fault-finding patrol was then undertaken to identify the issue.
Further information on the incident is available from the Transmission Company of Nigeria, which has provided details on the events surrounding the collapse of Tower T367.
