Ibadan DisCo boosts power supply capacity in Ogun

The Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company has disclosed that it had completed the enhancement of its electricity infrastructure serving the Sango-Ota axis of Ogun State.

The upgrade, the DisCo said, was aimed to substantially improve the power supply reliability for customers in the region, reducing complaints of blackouts.

In a statement on Wednesday, the IBEDC Managing Director, Francis Agoha, disclosed that there was a successful migration of the Sango 33KV feeder to a more robust T3 100MVA, 132KV/33KV transformer at the Ota Transmission Station.

“Additionally, IBEDC has introduced a new dedicated Roto Crown 33KV feeder. These enhancements are designed to cater to the increasing electricity demands and ensure superior service quality for over 10,241 IBEDC customers,” Agoha said.

He noted that the upgraded transformers at the Ota Transmission Station supported three essential feeders: Rotocrown 33KV, Tower Alloy 33KV, and Sango 33KV.

He added that the upgrades would enable IBEDC to meet the rising energy needs in the region and provide a stable electricity supply to numerous communities.

“Notably, the enhanced Sango 33KV feeder will benefit residents of Alishiba, Ilogbo, Bayo Block, Animashaun, and Ewupe.

“These improvements are expected to significantly enhance the quality of life for residents and businesses in these areas by ensuring a more consistent and reliable electricity supply,” he submitted.
