The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), Katsina Sub-Region, and Imcomtel Engineering Limited have inspected the Katsina 330/132/33kV Transmission Substation Project ahead of the next major installation phase.
The joint inspection, conducted on Thursday, was led by the Assistant General Manager (Transmission), Katsina Sub-Region, Engr. Usman Idris, who received the Imcomtel delegation headed by Engr. Emmanuel Okafor.
The team assessed ongoing civil works, equipment locations and supporting infrastructure to determine the site’s readiness for the next stage of the project.
A major focus of the inspection was the two 100MVA power transformers delivered to the project site on July 9, 2026, as well as their designated plinths.
The transformers are expected to significantly increase transmission capacity in Katsina State and the wider North-West region when installed and commissioned.
The team also inspected four newly delivered control rooms to ascertain their readiness to accommodate critical protection, monitoring and control systems.
At the end of the inspection, TCN and Imcomtel agreed on final technical requirements and site preparations aimed at ensuring smooth coordination as the project progresses towards completion.
The inspection team also included the Principal Manager, Engr. Mustapha Idowu, and Heads of Technical Departments.
