Title: Tcn Energises Second Asaba-Benin 330kv Transmission Line
Summary: The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has successfully energized the second 330kV transmission line connecting Asaba and Benin, a major milestone in the country's power transmission infrastructure development.
Key Points:
- The new transmission line is part of the ongoing efforts to improve power transmission capacity and reliability in Nigeria.
- The 330kV transmission line is designed to evacuate power from the National Integrated Power Plant (NIPP) in Benin to the national grid, thereby increasing power supply to the country.
- The energization of the second transmission line is expected to reduce transmission constraints and improve power supply to the South-South and South-East regions of Nigeria.
- The project was executed by TCN in collaboration with the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) and other stakeholders.
Impact:
- Increased power supply: The new transmission line is expected to increase power supply to the South-South and South-East regions, which have been experiencing frequent power outages.
- Improved transmission capacity: The addition of the second transmission line will increase the transmission capacity of the Asaba-Benin corridor, reducing transmission constraints and improving power supply reliability.
- Economic benefits: The improved power supply is expected to boost economic activities in the regions, including industries, commerce, and households.
Quote: "The successful energization of the second 330kV transmission line is a significant milestone in our efforts to improve power transmission capacity and reliability in Nigeria. We are committed to continuing to invest in our transmission infrastructure to ensure a stable and reliable power supply to our customers." - TCN Managing Director, Mr. Sule Abdulaziz.
