The company said the works involved dismantling and decommissioning the fallen tower, aligning and preparing the conductors and skywire, erecting the ERS tower, and carrying out other associated works needed to bring the line back safely.
it said its engineers worked round the clock to complete the job and return the line to service as quickly and safely as possible.
The company thanked electricity consumers in the affected areas for their patience and understanding during the outage, and said it remains committed to maintaining a stable and reliable transmission network.
