Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced an increase in its capacity to supply bulk electricity to some parts of Lagos state, Southwest Nigeria and its environs.
Gatekeepers News reports that TCN made this announcement following an upgrade of its Egbin 330/132/33 Kilo Volt (kV) Transmission Substation in the state, with the installation of a 60 Mega Volt Ampere (MVA) 132/33KV power transformer.
The TCN’s General Manager, Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah made this known in a statement she signed in Abuja on Sunday, March 6, 2022.
Mbah stated that the transformer which was installed by TCN in-house engineers was energised at 13:05pm on March 2.
She said, “With the new 60MVA power transformer, the substation capacity to supply bulk electricity to Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company (IKEDC) has increased by 30MVA.
“This is because TCN has decommissioned an old 30MVA transformer within the substation, which will be serviced and moved to other areas within its network that have a history of minimal electricity demand.
“This substation capacity upgrade will ensure that more power is made available for IKEDC to take to its franchise areas within Ijede LCDA and Ikorodu Local Government area axis.’’
