TCN'S WHEELING CAPACITY AND TRANSMITTING PEAK GENERATION

TCN's wheeling capacity as simulated by its System Planning Department is 8,100MW and since the simulation was carried out, TCN has continued to expand the nation's grid by rehabilitating and upgrading brown field/existing

projects and building new/green field projects.

The projects are in various TCN's old or new Substations nationwide, from the North to the South, to the East and West. The projects - substations, lines and systems operations projects are numerous and on ground nationwide.

Several are already in circuit while others are ongoing.

TCN's capacity & capability to transport bulk power is presently above the current bulk power generated into the grid and quantum power being taken by the DisCos.
TCN's capability to efficiently transmit the quantum of

power generated into the grid is evidenced by the record of historical peak generation that were successfully transmitted to Distribution load centers nationwide. These include:

* 18th December, 2017 - 5222.3MW was successfully transmitted.
*7th February, 2019 - 5375MW was

successfully transmitted.
*18th August, 2020 - 5420.30MW was successfully transmitted.
*28th October, 2020 - 5459.50MW was successfully transmitted.
*30th October, 2020 - 5520.40MW was successfully transmitted.
*25th February, 2021 - 5593.40MW was successfully transmitted.

*28th February, 2021 - 5615.40MW was successfully transmitted.
*1st March, 2021 - 5,801.60MW was successfully transmitted.

On March 1st, 2021, the Gencos generated a record peak of 5,801MW which was equally transmitted very successfully to Distribution Load Centers nationwide,

Eligible Customers, and International Customers.

TCN’s operational capacity at 8,100MW and growing, is backed by facts. TCN is not claiming that it has resolved all the challenges that impact its operatons as the manager of the transmission grid, but it is resolute in its
/7

expansion drive and is constantly working on its well-articulated Nigerian Electricity Grid Maintenance Expansion & Rehabilitation Programme (NEGMERP).
TCN's commitment to achieving its NEGMERP is gradually paying off.

TCN's wheeling capacity had increased from about 5000MW
/8

in 2016 to 8100MW and growing, through the diligent implementation of NEGMERP.

TCN is committed to continually increasing the transmission capacity to ensure continued efficient evacuation of bulk power from the Generation Companies and transmitting same to Distribution
/9

Companies load centers nationwide, Eligible and International Customers.

In year 2023, TCN is determined to take the company's capacity and capability much further. It is a mission we will strive to accomplish.
