Lekki residents to enjoy improved power supply as TCN inaugurates transformer

Lekki consumers are set to enjoy an improved power supply as the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has successfully commissioned a 1×60/75 MVA 132/33KV power transformer at the 330/132/33kV Lekki Transmission Substation in Lagos State.

This significant upgrade is expected to increase the substation’s capacity from 120MVA to 195MVA, enhancing electricity distribution efficiency in the region.

The development will enable the Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) to off-take a larger volume of bulk power, directly benefiting residents and businesses in the Lekki axis.

Customers can anticipate more reliable electricity with reduced outages and improved voltage stability, positively impacting daily life and business operations, according to Babatunde Lasaki, Manager of Corporate Communications at EKEDC.

Reacting to the commissioning, Lasaki expressed optimism about the improvement in power supply to Lekki and its environs.

He said, “We are glad that our transmission partners have completed this project, which will bring significant relief to our customers in the Lekki-Ajah axis. Hopefully, our customers will begin to feel the impact of this project immediately, as we aim to ramp up our offtake to better serve our customers in multiple ways. We appreciate the timeliness of this commissioning and commend TCN and the Federal Government for these interventions.”

The commissioning is part of a broader modernization effort funded by the World Bank, aimed at strengthening Nigeria’s power infrastructure and supporting economic growth. By enhancing the capacity of the Lekki Transmission Substation, TCN and EKEDC are working collaboratively to meet the increasing electricity demands of Lagos communities.
