Nigeria: As part of the measures to strengthen the transmission infrastructure, the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) plans to boost its infrastructure to have the capacity to evacuate 20,000 MW of electricity by 2020.
But speaking at the weekend in Lagos, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of TCN, Mr Mack Kast said the company plans to refurbish the power sector.
The TCN CEO said: “The Transmission Company of Nigeria has major efforts on the way. We have plans for massive refurbishment of the power sector. It is our goal that we are going to double the evacuation capacity of TCN. It is our expectation that by 2020, we will have the capacity to evacuation 20,000 MW of power.”
TCN will take delivery of the containers of power equipment from the Nigeria Customs Service on behalf of PHCN, which abandoned the containers 11 years ago, reports This Day Live. The first set of the equipment were for power projects in about 12 states but were left at the ports, stalling all the affected projects.
Some of these include supply of current transformers and capacitor voltage transformers as well as Ideato substation upgrade projects in Imo State, Oba- Nnewi substations and lines in Anambra State and Dambata substation in Ondo.
