The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has given reasons for the rationing of electricity in some parts of Lagos and Ogun states.
It said the rationing became necessary following a fire that burnt a 150 MVA 330/132/33kV transformer at its substation in Ayobo-Ipaja, Lagos, on May 14.
In a statement by its Assistant General Manager (Public Affairs), Dave Ifabiyi, the company said Lagos’ power load had been re-arranged to take advantage of excess capacity from other locations, such as Akangba and Aja transmission substations in Surulere and Victoria Island extension in Lagos State and Olorunsogo Transmission Substation in Ogun State, so that the available power is evenly distributed to spread the effect of the loss.
TCN said it has started probing the immediate and remote causes of the fire.
