TCN BOOSTS DAMATURU POWER SUPPLY WITH NEW 60MVA TRANSFORMER, CAPACITY UP TO 180MVA
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has successfully commissioned a new 60MVA, 132/33kV Mobile Power Transformer at its Damaturu 132/33kV Transmission Substation in Yobe State
The recent addition increases the substation’s transformation capacity from 120MVA to 180MVA. This enhances operational flexibility and reliability, provides redundancy during maintenance and outages, and enables the substation to accommodate increased load demand.
Consequently, more bulk electricity is now available to the Yola Electricity Distribution Company (YEDC) for offtake and distribution to customers in Damaturu, Buni Yadi, Babangida, Yobe State University Teaching Hospital, and surrounding areas.
The project is part of TCN’s ongoing Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) – funded initiatives aimed at expanding and strengthening the nation’s transmission infrastructure.
A statement by TCN’s General Manager, Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah disclosed that the initiative is designed to improve the reliability and efficiency of bulk electricity supply nationwide.
