The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has restored normal bulk electricity supply to the six states in Northeast Nigeria.
The power restoration follows the completion of the connection of the new Bauchi 330/132 kV Transmission Substation to the national grid.
The TCN spokesperson, Ndidi Mbah, disclosed that the transmission lines were initially switched off to enable the energization of the new Bauchi Substation, a crucial infrastructure project in the region.
The lines have now been reconnected to the grid, and supply to the Northeast has been restored since June 19 at about 16:45 hours.
With the project completed, bulk power transmission has been restored to Jos and Yola Electricity Distribution Companies.
These companies supply electricity to customers in Bauchi, Gombe, Yobe, Damaturu, Adamawa, and Taraba States.
The connection of the new substation has enhanced power reliability, diversified transmission routes, and improved emergency response capabilities in the region.
The TCN appreciated the patience and support of affected customers during the outage period, which lasted for about nine days, from June 10, 2025.
