TCN’s public affairs manager Ndidi Mbah, said in a statement
in Abuja on Sunday that the transformer which was installed by TCN in-house
engineers was energised at 13:05 p.m. on March 2.
“With the new 60MVA power transformer, the substation
capacity to supply bulk electricity to Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company
(IKEDC) has increased by 30MVA.
“This is because TCN has decommissioned an old 30MVA
transformer within the substation, which will be serviced and moved to other
areas within its network that have a history of minimal electricity demand.
“This substation capacity upgrade will ensure that more
power is made available for IKEDC to take to its franchise areas within Ijede
LCDA and Ikorodu Local Government area axis,” she said.
