The country’s electricity transmission grid is under threat as a result of the vandalism of a tower in Delta State, which has led to a fall in power generation by 480 megawatts, the Transmission Company of Nigeria has said.

According to the TCN, the fall in electricity generation is due to the vandalism of tower No. 62 along the Okpai-Onitsha 330kV double circuit transmission line, which evacuates power from the Okpai Power Station in Delta State.
