The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) says it will conveniently evacuate 10,000 megawatts (mw) of generated power in less than two years from now.

Alhaji Sule Abdulaziz, Managing Director, TCN, said this while briefing State House Correspondents on Thursday.

He said for the first time in the nation’s history, the power sector recorded a peak generation of 5,801.84mw of electricity at 9.15 pm on March 4.

He said in less than two years from now, TCN would conveniently evacuate 10,000mw.

He stated that this projection was based on the numerous TCN transmission projects completed in the last two years and new ones underway, as well as the 8,500mw current evacuation capability of the company.

Abdulaziz attributed the success achieved in expanding the transmission grid and increase in the nation’s capacity to the support of the Federal Government through the Ministry of Power.

The MD, who said that the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu’s administration was on course, added that in no distant time, Nigerians would celebrate the progress in the power sector.

“We are immensely proud of the governments’ commitment to moving the power sector forward.

“All hands are on deck to ensure we continue delivering on our mandate and providing Nigerians with the best possible service,” he said.

On technical aspect of TNC’s operations, Abdulaziz said the company installed and commissioned into service 66 power transformers.

He also said the company had built new transmission substations, and re-conductored transmission line projects, among others.
