The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has energized two newly installed power transformers at its 330/132/33kV Birnin Kebbi Transmission Substation, Kebbi State.
The 100MVA and 150MVA transformers were energized at 1:18 pm and 2:56 pm, respectively, on Friday, June 27, 2025.
The additional transformers, according to the company in a statement, have increased the substation’s capacity from 300MVA to 450MVA.
As a result, Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company now has an additional 120MW of bulk power for distribution to its customers across Kebbi, Sokoto, and environs. This also enables TCN to ensure normal bulk power supply to Niamey, the Niger Republic.
