The Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, has announced that it has energised two newly installed power transformers at its 330/132/33 kilovolt Birnin Kebbi Transmission Substation in Kebbi State.
The spokesperson for TCN, Ndidi Mbah, made this known in a
statement issued on Sunday.
According to her, the 100 megavolt-amperes, MVA and 150 MVA
transformers were energised at 1:18 pm and 2:56 pm, respectively, on Friday,
June 27, 2025.
She stated that the installation of the additional
transformers has increased the substation’s capacity from 300 MVA to 450 MVA.
As a result, the Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company now
has an additional 120 MW of bulk power for distribution to its customers across
Kebbi, Sokoto, and surrounding areas. This development also enables TCN to
maintain normal bulk power supply to Niamey, Niger Republic.
“We are committed to the continued expansion and maintenance
of the nation’s transmission system to ensure a more effective and efficient
bulk power transmission nationwide,” the statement reads.
Nigeria’s electricity generation stood at 5,148.34 megawatts
as of Friday, April 25, 2025.
