TCN Upgrading Agbara 132/33kV Transmission Substation to Meet Up Demand
Abuja (Core Reporters) The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced the upgrading of its 2x45MVA to 2x100MVA Power Transformers at its Agbara 132/33kV Transmission Substation in Ogun State, under the Lagos region, aimed at increasing the substation’s capacity to meet the growing electricity demand in Agbara and its environs.
TCN is replacing one 45MVA power transformer with a 100MVA transformer, with the second one still in the circuit to ensure minimal load shedding during the upgrade. This is to minimize disruption. Once completed and energized, the second 45MVA transformer will then be upgraded to 100MVA, increasing the substation’s total capacity from 150MVA to 260MVA
A statement by the TCN General Manager Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah said, “The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) hereby notifies the public that it is undertaking an upgrade of its 2x45MVA to 2x100MVA Power Transformers at its Agbara 132/33kV Transmission Substation in Ogun State, under the Lagos Region.
“We appeal to electricity consumers taking supply from Agbara 132/33kV Transmission Substation to bear with us during the upgrade period, as there may be temporary load shedding. We assure you that normal electricity supply will be restored as soon as the upgrade is completed,” The statement said.
