The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has said that with the activation of two newly installed power transformers at its 330/132/33 kilovolt Birnin Kebbi Transmission Substation in Kebbi State, 120mw has been added to the national grid.

General Manager, Public Affairs of the TCN, Ndidi Mbah,  in a statement in Abuja, said the 100 megavolt-amperes, MVA and 150 MVA transformers were energised at 1:18 pm and 2:56 pm, respectively, on Friday, June 27, 2025.

She stated that the installation of the additional transformers has increased the substation’s capacity from 300 MVA to 450 MVA.

As a result, the Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company, TCN said, now has an additional 120mw of bulk power for distribution to its customers across Kebbi, Sokoto, and surrounding areas. 

The company further stated that the development also enables TCN to maintain normal bulk power supply to Niamey, Niger Republic.

“We are committed to the continued expansion and maintenance of the nation’s transmission system to ensure a more effective and efficient bulk power transmission nationwide,” the statement added.

Instollar Empowers Women Certified-solar Technicians in Nigeria

Peter Uzoho 

In a bold step toward building a more inclusive green economy,  Instollar Technologies has launched the second cohort of its groundbreaking InstallHER Initiative — a clean energy training and empowerment programme designed to bring more women into Africa’s fast-growing solar industry.

With support from the Acumen Angels Grant, InstallHER is currently training 100 women across Nigeria to become certified solar technicians, entrepreneurs, and agents of change in their communities. 

The programme, according to the company, aims to reach 10,000 women by 2030, making it one of the most ambitious female-focused clean energy initiatives in the region.

“Out of over 1,200 technicians in our workforce database, less than one per cent were women. That’s a gap we can’t afford to ignore.

“InstallHER is our solution — a hands-on pathway for women to access the skills, opportunities, and income potential in Africa’s energy transition”, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Instollar, “Chinwe Udo-Davis, said.
