TCN To Boost Grid CapacityIn a bid to increase capacity in receiving megawatt against it’s current realities, the Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, said it had commenced expansion of its grid capacity. It however said that though it has the capacity to wheel maximum generation from generating companies, GENCOs to Distribution Companies, DISCOs, there is need to further expand the grid capacity so as to ensure that it continues to surpass the generation curve. Currently, the grid stability is said to be impaired, due to lack of adequate generation, prompting TCN to state that it will continue to work towards averting the collapse of the system. “Three specific short term projects have been identified as “quick win” projects that should be completed with the least amount of money and yet have maximum impact on the transmission network. “These quick win projects would be given highest priority attention in order to improve the network and increase return on investment”. The statement further read that “the projects include the installation of a 60MVA, 330/132/33kV power transformer at the Ife transmission Substation which is expected to be completed within three months, adding 48MW to the nation’s transmission capacity.
