The MD/CEO, Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), has commenced inspection tour to some substations in Lagos State.
The MD/CEO, Engr. Sule A. Abdulaziz is currently on an official visit to the substations in Lagos State which was recently completed.
In a statement by the General Manager of the company, Ndidi Mbah, said the visit, is to allow the MD see the projects for himself.
The inspection tour started with a visit to the Otta 132/33kV transmission substation, which falls under the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC).
The TCN MD, inspected the newly commissioned 100/125 MVA power transformer at the substation and an ongoing installation of a second 100/125MVA transformer.
The energised 100/120MVA power transformer 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.
This will further increase as soon as the second 100MVA transformer is completely installed, the statement said.
He also visited the Alausa Transmission Substation and inspected the substation’s control room and switchyard, including the newly commissioned 100/125MVA 132/33kV power transformer that was commissioned into service on 26th September, 2024.
The new 100MVA transformer increased the substation’s 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.
