Power transmission to increase by 1,487MW as TCN gets 15 new transformers
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) says it has taken delivery of 15 brand new power transformers.
The transformers would increase Nigeria’s electricity transmission capacity by 1,487 megawatts, according to TCN.
Among other factors, Nigeria’s power sector is confronted by low transmission wheeling capacity against the total installed generation capacity of 12,522MW. According to Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), the country has a wheeling capacity of 7,500MW.
Ndidi Mbah, the company’s spokesperson, said this in a statement yesterday.
She said the transformers comprise 10 number 60MVA 132/33kV and five 150MVA 330/132kV capacity transformers.
The transformers were retrieved from Apapa ports and delivered to TCN’s central store in Ojo, Lagos state, for delivery to various project sites nationwide.
Mbah quoted Sule Abdulaziz, TCN’s acting managing director, as saying the contract for the supply of the transformers, under the Nigerian Electricity Transmission Project (NETAP), was funded by the World Bank.
