The Transmission Company of Nigeria on Thursday announced that it will perform annual maintenance on a 60MVA, 132/33KV transformer at the Benin transmission substation on Friday, between 10a.m. and 6p.m.
A statement in Benin City on Thursday, by the General Manager, Public Affairs, TCN, Ndidi Mbah, said the scheduled activity would ensure that the transformer and related switchgears remained in optimal working conditions for safe and reliable electricity supply.
