An offshoot of the Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN Kaduna Region has received two 150MVA 330/132/33kV power transformers at the Jaja Transmission Substation in Kudan Local Government Area and two 66MVA 132/33kV power transformers at the Jaji Substation in Igabi Local Government Area, both in Kaduna State, on Monday.
This was contained in a statement by the General Manager, Public Affairs, TCN, Ndidi Mbah, on Thursday in Abuja.
Giving the reasons for the initiative and what it is intended to achieve, the statement said: “The two substation projects strategically designed to enhance power supply reliability and expand transmission capacity across the North-West region are funded by the African Development Bank (AFDB).
“The projects have reached an advanced stage, generating optimism among TCN and community stakeholders.”
TCN also revealed that on completion, the Jaja 330/132/33kV Transmission Substation will be linked to the 330kV Kano Transmission Line, a critical connection that will significantly reinforce transmission capacity in the region.
It added that the new substations will equally help to reduce power outages, improve voltage stability, and ensure a more reliable bulk electricity supply to distribution load centres for delivery to electricity customers across Kano State and neighbouring areas.
