Egbin Power Boost: TCN Commission 300MVA Transformer to Enhance Electricity Supply
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), Lagos Region, has successfully commissioned a new 300MVA power transformer at its 330/132/33kV Egbin Transmission Substation in Lagos State on February 22, 2025.
The addition has increased the substation’s capacity from 300MVA to 450MVA, thereby enhancing bulk power availability for Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) to off-take to its customers in Ikorodu, Shagamu, Ijede, and environs.
The General Manager (Transmission), Lagos Region, Engr. Adeshina Adeonipekun, stated that the project, which was completed in-house by TCN engineers in a record-breaking six weeks, is aimed at strengthening the transmission network and improving power delivery nationwide.
