Nigeria, Lagos: The Transmission Company of Nigeria has commissioned new transformers at substations in Alausa, Ota, and Alagbon in Lagos. The upgrades are part of a $200 million World Bank-backed initiative aimed to enhance grid stability and reliability of electricity distribution in Nigeria.
TCN’s Managing Director, Sule Abdulaziz, highlighted the commissioning of a 125 MVA transformer at the Alausa 132/33KV substation. He mentioned that this upgrade increases the substation’s capacity from 105 MVA to 230 MVA, providing additional bulk power for Ikeja Electric to serve areas including Ikeja, Oregun, Alausa, Ojodu.
“The government’s commitment to improving electricity nationwide is clear but achieving the 10000 MW target by 2025 requires substantial investment,” Abdulaziz noted.
