TRANSMISSION Company of Nigeria (TCN), one of the 18 unbundled business units under the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), has acquired N471 million equipment for monitoring power transmission lines and other electricity distribution infrastructure nationwide.
TCN’s General Manager, Design and Construction, Mr. Mike Ezeudenna, said the software would also help in the accurate evacuation of power by the company.
He disclosed this in Abuja at a meeting with the officials of Penuel Consulting, the U.S.-based engineering and aerial mapping firm contracted to undertake the project.
According to him: “This meeting is aimed at bringing ICT to bear in managing transmission lines, right-of-way, power evacuation and addressing challenges that are associated with power in Nigeria.
“In other words, you can sit in the office and monitor what is happening on the transmission lines. It makes it easy and faster to address challenges like tower collapses and vegetation growth that can breach your lines. It is very important to have the right software and data that can be used to check changes on the lines and make decision-taking easy for you.”
Ezeudenna stated that when completed, the software would make things done faster and more efficiently because of its improved technology.
