Nigeria, Abuja: Transmission Company of Nigeria received a 100 MVA transformer for its Katampe 132/33 kV transmission substation.
The new transformer is to replace the old 60 MVA 132/33 kV power transformers at the substation. The result will be an increased transformer capacity in the substation, from 120 to 160 MVA, stated the company on Twitter.
The company also stated that eight truckloads of transformer accessories arrived in its Benin region to boost the power supply in the state, and in the entire country.
The deployment of substations and transformers seems to have helped in stabilising the system this year.
“As far as the power sector is concerned and the end-users or the public is concerned, the major priority of the in-coming administration should be energy security,” stated the President of Nigeria Consumer Protection Network Kunle Olubiyo, adding, “Nigeria is one of the leading members of OPEC (Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries) and it is quite abnormal and a global embarrassment that amid abundant reserves of gas, crude oil and all other variables that make the energy economy, Nigeria still lacks adequate energy.”
