  1. The Future of TCN: Ensuring Professional Management of and Investment in the Transmission Network. Presented by Engr. A.S.A. Bada Senior Special Assistant on Transmission to the President

  2. Introduction • The decay in the power industry is immense and the resources needed to revamp the system are immense; the FGN cannot bear this burden alone • Stakeholders are eager and willing to participate in any meaningful activity that can move the electricity power sector forward if the right investment climate is created

  3. Strategies Strategies that will ensure professional management of and invest-ment in the transmission network fall into 3 broad categories: • The future of Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) • Ensuring professional management of TCN; • Investment in the transmission network.

  4. Structure of TCN

  5. Structure of TCN (continued)

  6. Structure of TCN(continued) • The TSP is mostly concerned with asset management while the S.O. & M.O. are service providers. • Services rendered by the S.O. & M.O. are not for TCN alone but rather for all market participants. • Operationally TCN is structured into 8 regions responsible for asset management • Expansion and rehabilitation programs are driven from Corporate Headquarters

  7. TCN’s Goal • To improve on the quality of power it delivers to its customers, practice good corporate governance and ensure its services are accessible, reliable and affordable. • Ingredients of a viable corporate entity include the following: • Large asset base with robust asset management philosophy; • Elements of natural monopoly; • Appreciable capital base or ability to attract investment; • Good corporate governance and • Strategic planning.

  8. Professional Management of TCN • TCN has obviously not been able to achieve any of these • What can TCN boast of out of all these? • Large asset base with poor management philosophy; • Full natural monopoly • It is important there is a paradigm shift in the present strategic planning currently adopted

  9. Professional Management of TCN (continued) For TCN to be viable and attract private participation it should: • Set achievable and measurable targets; • Look seriously at business issues; • Improve overall system performance; • Cut back significantly on operating costs.

  10. Investment Opportunities in TCN • TCN provides the vital transmission infrastructure between the generating stations and the distribution companies • There are currently two levels of transmission voltages in our grid: 330kV and 132kV. • At the last count there are 5650 and 6687 kilometers each of 330kV and 132kV lines respectively. • The entire infrastructure is essentially radial, without redundancies thus creating inherent reliability issues.

  12. Challenges in the Sector

  13. Mitigation of Challenges and Areas Identified for Possible Private Sector Participation • Transmission Network expansion • Dualization of critical lines to create relief • Relief for congested segments of the grid • Implementation of the Super Grid concept (will cost c. $5bn; FGN cannot achieve this alone) • Vegetation management • Human capacity development • Local manufacture of components.
