In a statement, General Manager, Transmission Services Engineer Ali Sharifai, admitted that the 12-month project has become imperative due to the ageing state of the infrastructure, which has contributed to reduced wheeling capacity over time.
Highlighting the importance of the rehabilitation, General Manager, Transmission, Port Harcourt Region, Engineer Akpa Emmanuel, explained that both lines are central to evacuating bulk electricity generated from the Afam Power Plants into the national grid. He affirmed that the upgraded lines will significantly enhance the reliability and stability of power supply across the region.
