The Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, has energised two newly installed power transformers at its 330/132/33 kilovolt Birnin Kebbi Transmission Substation in Kebbi State.
Spokesperson for the company, Ndidi Mbah, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday.
She stated that 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.
According to her, the installation of the additional transformers has increased the substation’s capacity from 300 MVA to 450 MVA.
Ndidi Mbah further said, with the development, 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.
Also, the installation would enable the transmission company to maintain normal bulk power supply to Niamey, Niger Republic.
The TCN expressed its commitment to the continued expansion and maintenance of the nation’s transmission system to ensure a more effective and efficient bulk power transmission across the country.
