In a post on its X handle on Monday, the General Manager, Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, said the transmission line was re-energised at 8:32 pm on Thursday, February 19, 2026, following extensive technical interventions carried out by TCN engineers.

The restoration process was executed with a focus on ensuring the integrity and operational reliability of the infrastructure, with strict adherence to safety and quality standards.

“With both Line 1 and Line 2 now operational, the Shiroro–Mando 330kV transmission corridor is fully functional.

“This restoration significantly enhances Kaduna Electric’s ability to transmit bulk electricity to its franchise area, improves network flexibility, and strengthens the overall reliability of the national grid.”
