The Transmission Company of Nigeria said it has installed and commissioned two 60MVA Power Transformers in its transmission substations in Uyo and Kano. The General Manager (Public Affairs) Mrs. Ndidi Mbah, TCN made the disclosure in a statement issued to newsmen on Monday.

She said;


"The brand new 60MVA 132/33kV power transformer in its Uyo transmission substation, was installed to replace the burnt 60MVA LEEC power transformer which caught fire in the substation last month. The 60MVA power transformer which was energized on 22nd March, 2018, increased the number of 60MVA power transformers in the substation to three and has equally increased the Uyo Substation capacity from 120MVA to 180MVA.


The additional transformer capacity means improved power supply to distribution customers of Port-Harcourt DisCo in Uyo Oron, Mbo, Ikot-Ekpene Abak, Ethan, Airport and environs."


Her statement further said;


"The capacity of Dan Agundi Substation, Kano State, has increased from 60MVA to 120MVA, with the successful installation of a brand new 60MVA power transformer in the substation. The transformer installation which was initially awarded to a contractor was taken over by TCN engineers, with a mandate to complete installation within two weeks."


She added that the new Dan Agundi transformer has been delivered and would be energized on Saturday, 24th March, after all the pre-commissioning tests have been completed. She assured that once energized, electricity transmission to Kano Electricity Distribution Company for delivery to its customers in Kano would improve substantially.
