The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) and the Nigeria Independent System Operator (NISO) have approved a maintenance upgrade of the Omotosho–Ikeja West 330 kV transmission line by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN).
This upgrade involves installing Optical Ground Wire (OPGW) fibre cable and will affect the bulk power supply across many parts of the city.
The following districts and suburbs will see power cuts during the work hours listed above:
Ojodu
Oke‑Ira
Agidingbi
Omole Phase 1 & 2
Iju
Berger
Magodo Phase 1 & 2
Ketu
Oregun
Ojota
Parts of Agege
Ifako
Abule Egba
Ojo
Ikeja
Oshodi
Ayobo
Alimosho
Ogba
Alausa
Ejigbo
Ikeja Electric and Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) have warned their customers that they may also face irregular supply as a knock‑on effect of the TCN maintenance.
The Omotosho–Ikeja West 330 kV line carries bulk power from the Omotosho Power Station in Ondo State to the main transmission hub in Ikeja, Lagos. Upgrading this vital corridor with fibre‑optic grounding wire will improve grid stability, reduce future faults and enhance data communications for the power network.
