Katsina Power Boost: TCN, IMCOMTEL Inspect 330/132/33kV Substation Ahead of Major Installation
By Our Reporter
Katsina (Core Reporters) -The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), Katsina Sub-Region and Imcomtel Engineering Limited have conducted a joint inspection of the Katsina 330/132/33kV Transmission Substation Project ahead of its next major installation phase.
The inspection, which took place on Thursday, September 24, 2026, was led by the Assistant General Manager (Transmission), Katsina Sub-Region, Engr. Usman Idris, who received the Imcomtel delegation headed by Engr. Emmanuel Okafor.
The team inspected various sections of the substation, including ongoing civil works, equipment locations and supporting infrastructure, to ascertain readiness for the next phase of the project.
A major highlight was the assessment of two 100MVA power transformers delivered to the site on July 9, 2026, and their designated plinths. The transformers are expected to substantially boost transmission capacity across Katsina State and the broader North-West region.
The team also evaluated four newly delivered state-of-the-art control rooms to verify their readiness to house critical protection, monitoring and control systems.
At the end of the visit, TCN and Imcomtel aligned on final technical requirements and site preparations to ensure seamless coordination as the project moves closer to completion.
The inspection team included the Principal Manager, Engr. Mustapha Idowu, and Heads of Technical Departments.
