The spokesperson of TCN, Ndidi Mbah, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday.
The electricity restoration follows the successful completion of upgrade works on the Yola–Mayo Belwa–Jalingo transmission line.
“Full restoration was achieved at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, 13 January 2026, after the completion of all pre-commissioning tests and the mandatory soak period, in line with standard operational procedures.
TCN further explained that Yola Electricity Distribution Company (YEDC) is a major beneficiary of the upgrade of the Mayo Belwa and Jalingo Transmission Substations from 132 kV to 330 kV.
“This enhancement will significantly improve power reliability, increase transmission capacity, and support growing electricity demand in Taraba State and neighboring areas,” TCN added.
Recall that TCN had announced an outage in Taraba on January 9th to allow contractors carry out critical upgrade works on the transmission line.
