Lekki residents will get a boost in power supply in the coming weeks as the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has just installed and commissioned a 1×60/75 MVA 132/33KV power transformer at the 330/132/33kV Lekki Transmission Substation.
This installation effectively upgrades the station’s capacity by 75MVA, will increase the electricity supply, and enable efficient power distribution in this region.

This is a welcome development, particularly for businesses, as they can now expect fewer blackouts and improved voltage stability. This means they will spend less on alternative power sources and thus reduce operations costs.
The new transformer installation is part of several moves the TCN is making to address critical challenges in Nigeria’s transmission and distribution of power supply.
The World Bank’s partnership with TCN on this journey has produced many substations, including the Lekki Transmission Substation, and the installation of these new transformers is indicative of a steady advancement toward an efficient and stable power supply.
The TCN statement reads in part;
“This project is part of the ongoing World Bank-funded initiatives aimed at improving power supply in Nigeria.”
Web Padi reported that a TCN representative present at the commissioning reiterated TCN’s commitment to providing reliable and quality power supply that can boost socio-economic development in Nigeria.
