TCN Transmission News
The Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN hereby declares force majeure on Oworoshoki 132/33kV and Lekki 330/132kV Transmission Substations as a result of flooding caused by continuous rainfall in Lagos.
Although Lekki 132kV Transmission Substation is still in service as water is continuously being pumped out of the station, Oworonshoki Transmission Substation on the other hand is presently not in service as the level of water has affected two power transformers, TR1- 60MVA and TR3- 30MVA that tripped on no load even after attempted restoration.
Presently, all power protection and control cables of the two power transformers are submerged inside water, and efforts to evacuate the water have proved ineffective as the rain continues to fall.
Our engineers are working doing everything possible to evacuate the flood to enable them test the transformers for restoration.
TCN regrets any inconvenience this might cause Eko DisCo's customers taking supply from the substation.
