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 new transformer not only increased the substation’s transformation capacity from 120MVA to 180MVA but will also enhance its operational flexibility and reliability, providing redundancy during maintenance and outages, as well as enabling the substation to accommodate increased load demand.

According to TCN, the project is part of its ongoing Internally Generated Revenue IGR-funded initiatives aimed at expanding and strengthening the nation’s transmission infrastructure to improve the reliability and efficiency of bulk electricity supply.
