THE Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, has pledged to expand and stabilise the nation’s power grid. The company has also announced an increase in the capacity of the Ajah transmission substation in Lagos, to 220MVA sequel the installation of an additional 60MVA 133/33kV power transformer.
A statement signed by Seun Olagunju, general manager, Public Affairs, TCN, said the newly installed and commissioned 60MVA 132/33kV power transformer replaced an old 60MVA transformer which failed in the substation on August 28, 2016.
According to the statement, TCN is also installing a 60MVA 132/33kV mobile power transformer in the same station to further increase transmission capacity in the area.
Installation works have reached advanced stage and on completion, the mobile transformer would increase the transmission capacity in the substation to 280MW, which is above the distribution load requirement in the area. The increased capacity of the Ajah transmission substation means that additional power is now available to be wheeled to distribution load centres supplying electricity to Ajah and environs.
