The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) is poised to substantially increase its transmission capacity as the company has received seven new power transformers for installation in Lagos.
The seven new power transformers with capacities ranging from 60MVA to 100MVA and their accessories were recently delivered to Akangba 330/132kV Transmission Substation.
The transformers are part of the ongoing TCN/World Bank power projects and would be distributed to Alausa 132/33kV Transmission Substation, Akoka 132/33kV Transmission Substation, Maryland 132/33kV Transmission Substation, Itire 132/33kV Transmission Substation and Amuwo 132/33kV Transmission Substation.
A statement by the TCN General Manager Public Affairs, Mrs Ndidi Mbah, explained that while the above listed substations will receive one transfer each, the Akoko 132/33kV Substation and Amuwo 132/33kV Substation will receive two transformers each.
She expressed optimism that when installed, the transformers will substantially increase the company’s transmission capacity .
