Nigeria: The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) will deliver two units of 330 kV power transmission substations in Katsina and Kano states.
The Managing Director of TCN Sule Abdulaziz assured that the company would deliver the substations in Katsina and Kano states along with the transmission lines in the next year to boost power supply in the states.
Abdulaziz who gave the assurance while inspecting the 330/132/3 3kV Katsina Substation project and the Rimi Zakara Substation in Kano said the transformers and structures are in place at the Katsina Substation.
TCN general manager of public affairs, Ndidi Mbah, yesterday explained that on completion, the Katsina substation will improve the transmission of bulk power supply to Daura, Dutsinma, Kankara and Malumfashi Substations in the state.
The TCN boss noted that the transmission line that will bring bulk supply to the substation is from Kano and was earlier affected by right of way issues. TCN and the government are collaborating on this and processes have been completed and the contractor will soon be back to the site to finish his work.
He noted that the substation will be equipped with two 150 MVA power transformers and two 60 MVA power transformers.
