The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), Managing Director Engr. Sule A. Abdulaziz, has embarked on inspection tour of some of its ongoing and completed projects in Lagos state.
The projects include: Otta 132/33kV transmission substation, which falls under the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) and the newly commissioned 100/125 MVA power transformer at the substation and an ongoing installation of a second 100/125MVA transformer.
It also include the energized 100/120MVA power transformer which has been in circuit since April 4, 2024, adding a maximum of 100MW to the substation’s capacity.
This means that IBEDC now has more bulk power available for distribution to customers in Ota, Iju, Sango, Ijoko, Atan, and environs, thereby increasing as soon as the second 100MVA transformer is completely installed.
At the 330/132/33kV Alagbon Transmission Substation, Engr Abdulaziz inspected two new 100/125 MVA Power Transformers, which were installed on the18th January 2024.
The transformers project which is also a part of the TCN – WORLD Bank projects, increased the capacity of the substation from 250MVA to 440MVA, thereby giving more bulk power for Eko Disco to offtake to its customers in Ikoyi, Victoria Island, Banana Island, some part of lagos island and parts of Lekki.
The inspection extended to Alausa Transmission Substation control room and switchyard, including the newly commissioned 100/125 MVA 132/33KV power transformer commissioned into service on 26th September, 2024
The TCN General Manager, Public Affairs, Mrs Ndidi Mbah, explained that the new 100MVA transformer increased the Substation capacity from 135MVA to 235MVA and made available more bulk power for Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company to offtake for its customers in Ikeja, Oregun, Alausa, Ojodu and environs.
The Alausa Transmission Substation is one of the transmission substations feeding Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company, whose transformer capacity was recently enhanced.
Mbah noted that TCN is undertaking several substation’s projects in its substations nationwide. She said some had been completed, while others are still ongoing.
