 TCN Increases Power Supply to Enugu, Ebonyi, and Parts of Benue States


The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced a significant boost in electricity supply to Enugu, Ebonyi, and parts of Benue States. 


In a statement released on Monday via its official X account, TCN revealed that it has successfully energized a 150MVA 330/132/33kV power transformer at the 330kV New Haven Transmission Substation in Enugu. This upgrade has increased the substation's capacity from 360 MW to 480 MW, allowing Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) to lift more bulk power for distribution to its customers across Enugu, Ebonyi, and parts of Benue.


TCN emphasized that this move enhances the power availability in the region, providing a more reliable supply to the affected states.


This development comes at a time when Nigeria has faced multiple national grid collapses, with the grid having failed at least twelve times in recent months, leading to widespread power outages across the country.
