The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has stated that it will carry out an upgrade on its Ihovbor 132/33kV Transmission Substation and in the processes also replace a 60MVA power transformer within the substation with a 100MVA transformer.
In a statement by the General Manager, Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, TCN said that the exercise is scheduled to commence from Monday, November 13, 2023, to January 7, 2024.
"Consequently, there will be a minimal load supply of eight (8) hours per day through the substation to Benin DisCo for distribution to its customers who are supplied electricity from three feeders in Ihovbor substation.
The upgrade will not affect bulk power supply through the UNIBEN feeder.
Areas that will experience power interruption due to the upgrade include EGBA, OLUKU, and IHOVBOR, while UNIBEN will have its 24-hour normal power supply.
We regret any inconvenience the upgrade will cause electricity consumers within the affected areas.
Please note that the exercise is necessary to increase the capacity of TCN’s Ihovbor Transmission Substation to enable the delivery of more bulk electricity to Benin DisCo for distribution to its customers", the statement reads.
