There are regions where the grid is either poorly developed or not connected at all. These bottlenecks cause power supply delays or outages, especially in remote areas. #PowerExplained

Challenges in Nigeria’s Transmission System 1️⃣ Underinvestment Nigeria's transmission infrastructure has suffered from years of underinvestment. Many transmission lines and substations are old and operate far beyond capacity. #TransmissionChallenges #PowerExplained

Substations along the transmission lines step down the high voltage power to levels that can be safely distributed to homes. However, aging infrastructure causes disruptions along this path. #PowerExplained

Electricity Transmission Explained Once electricity is generated, it’s time to transport it across the country. This process is known as transmission, and in Nigeria, it’s handled by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN). #PowerExplained

Electricity Theft & Illegal Connections Up to 30% of electricity is lost to illegal connections. This not only hurts DisCos but also means higher bills for law-abiding customers. How do we fix this? #PowerExplained

Overloaded Transformers Many transformers serve more homes than they were designed for. The result? Regular breakdowns and outages. It’s time for investment in distribution. #PowerExplained

Nigeria has 11 DisCos covering different regions: Ikeja Electric, AEDC, Eko Electric, and more. Since their privatization in 2013, they’ve been tasked with improving service, but challenges remain. #PowerExplained

🔌 What happens after power is generated? Once electricity is produced and transmitted through the grid, it needs to be distributed. This is where the Distribution Companies (DisCos) step in, delivering power to homes and businesses. #PowerExplained

Ever experienced a blackout when demand peaks? ⚡ That’s because our grid often can’t handle the load. On Friday, I’ll break down the bottlenecks in our transmission system. #PowerExplained
