… pledges to boost grid supply with over 100MW from ‘Utility 2.0’ & ‘Safe Grid’ embedded generation

Oredola Adeola

Kano Electricity Distribution Plc. (KEDCO) has reported a recovery in grid supply, increasing from nearly 0MW on October 21, 2024, to an average of 230MW by November 18, 2024, following the repair of the vandalized Ugwuaji–Apir 330kV Transmission Line 2 by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN).

Sani Sani, Head, Corporate Communication KEDCO made this known in a statement obtained by Advisors Reports on Monday.

Advisors Reports revealed that KEDCO’s load allocation, which averaged 107MW as of November 14, 2024, following the repair of the Ugwuaji-Apir Line 1 on October 30, surged to an average of 230MW by November 18, 2024, after the energization of the Ugwuaji-Apir 330kV Line 2.

Note that the DisCo’s expected power allocation is 268MW.

Sani stated that while Line 1 was repaired and restored with load limitations on October 30, 2024, the restoration of Line 2 has significantly increased KEDCO’s capacity to distribute more load to its customers across Kano, Katsina, and Jigawa states.

He explained that the Ugwuaji–Apir 330kV double circuit transmission lines 1 & 2 have been our alternate source of bulk power following the recent vandalization of KEDCO’s main sources of bulk power, the 330kV Shiroro-Kaduna lines 1 & 2.

Mal Abubakar Yusuf, Managing Director/CEO of KEDCO, in his comment on the supply improvement initiatives said, “In addition to the national grid supply, KEDCO is partnering with State Governments and mini-grid developers to enhance energy security within the network and eliminate absolute dependence on the grid through embedded generation.”

“The Company’s core investor, Future Energies Africa (FEA), is determined to enhance the socio-economic standing of the people in the tri-state of our operations.

“This will be achieved through accelerated electrification projects to support the current efforts of the Federal Government and regulator towards sustainable growth of the power sector,” he said.

The MD/CEO of KEDCO further explained that the ongoing ‘Utility 2.0’ and ‘Safe Grid’ projects, with a combined projected generation of over 100MW, will enhance energy security and reliability for customers, complementing bulk supply from the national grid.

He affirmed KEDCO’s commitment to pursuing embedded generation solutions while maintaining a strong relationship with the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) for continued bulk supply from the National Grid.
