The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has delivered essential transmission equipment and maintenance materials to its Benin Sub-Region to improve network reliability and operational efficiency.
The consignment, provided by the company's Project Monitoring Unit (PMU), Abuja, arrived on Monday, November 2, 2026.
The materials include 330kV and 132kV tripping coils, rapid pressure relays, current transformer (CT) ratio clamps, gantry structures and porcelain insulators.
TCN Management said in a statement on Wednesday that the equipment had been successfully delivered, offloaded and secured in the sub-region's store, awaiting deployment whenever the need arises.
It stated that the intervention would enhance the capacity of the sub-region's technical personnel to undertake scheduled and emergency maintenance without unnecessary delays.
According to the company, having the required spare parts readily available would reduce equipment downtime, strengthen the reliability of the transmission network and improve bulk electricity delivery to distribution company load centres across the region.
The company reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining a dependable transmission network through improved infrastructure support and timely maintenance interventions.
