The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has upgraded four transmission substations in Lagos to enhance the power supply across the state. The four substations are Apapa Road, Ijora, Lekki, and Alausa. The Apapa Road substation, funded by the Japan International Cooperation Agency, saw the addition of two new 60MVA power transformers and modern gas-insulated switchgear, tripling its capacity from 60MVA to 180MVA.
The Ijora substation, funded by the World Bank, replaced two ageing 30MVA transformers with two modern 100MVA transformers, increasing its capacity from 90MVA to 230MVA. The Lekki substation received two new 60MVA transformers, doubling its capacity at the 132kV level and boosting output by 96MW. The Alausa substation, also funded by the World Bank, installed a 100MVA transformer, increasing its total capacity from 135MVA to 205MVA.
These upgrades are part of the TCN's nationwide program to expand transmission infrastructure and ensure that every incremental megawatt generated can be efficiently evacuated and delivered to distribution load centres.
