    A building has encroached into the mandatory safety corridor of overhead power lines in violation of regulations. It is extremely dangerous to build under power lines due to the high risk of accidents from wire snaps that can cause fires, injuries or loss of life. The owner is advised to relocate or adjust the building outside the required safety distances from the lines, ranging from 5.5 to 25 meters depending on the voltage, or they will not be liable for any accidents that may occur from contact with the high-tension lines.

    ENCROACHMENT INTO POWER LINE CORRIDOR

    The Management of _______wish to draw your attention to a building under power


    line at ……………………... which has encroached into the power line corridor and as
    such violates the Right of Way (RoW) requirement as stipulated in Chapter 3 of the
    Nigerian Electricity Supply and Installation Standard (NESIS) Regulation 2015
    Version 1.
    It is extremely dangerous to build or carry out activities under power lines.
    Therefore, the building’s present location constitutes a high risk to lives and
    properties in the event of an accident.
    The mandatory required distance to power lines for any structure or activities are as
    follows:

     33/11KV lines - 5.5 Meters (20ft) on both sides.


     132kv lines - 12.5 Meters (30ft) on both sides.
     330kv lines - 25 Meters (60ft) on both sides.
    Despite campaigns by __________and the Lagos State Government, some landlords
    and business owners have ignored this legal requirement. Accidents caused by wire
    snaps have resulted into unnecessary loss of lives and properties; permanent
    disability and burns of varying high degrees.
    The risks of accidents occurring are very high during rainy season due to heavy
    rains and storms. These risks can however be mitigated by strict compliance with
    the required safe distance.
    In the light of the above, we therefore advise that you carry out the necessary
    adjustment or relocate your building from the power line corridor for the safety of
    your family and your loved ones. Please note that by law, ___________ will not be
    liable for any mishap which may arise as a result of contact with these high-tension
    power lines.
