Meanwhile, TCN, which was incorporated in November 2005, emerged from the defunct National Electric Power Authority (NEPA) as a product of the merger of the Transmission and Operations sectors on April 1, 2004. Being one of the 18 unbundled Business Units under the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), TCN was issued a transmission License on 1st July 2006. It was subsequently issued two licenses on June 10, 2013, for electricity transmission and system operations.

Some of TCN major activities include the following:

  • Operate, expand/upgrade transmission facilities for efficient and effective wheeling of generated electricity.
  • Build Transmission Grid that can efficiently evacuate all generated power.
  • Create adequate network redundancies to ensure at least 99.9% reliability.
  • Reduce transmission losses to less than 5%.
  • Pursue Inter-connection with neighbouring Countries for power exchange with, associated cost savings from the sharing of reserve capacity and energy resources.
