He framed the executed ventures to incorporate 337 33/11kV lines, 25,281 25kVA and 50kVA CSP transformers, 199 circulation transformers (100, 200, 300, 500 KVA) of 108MVA, 2,256km of 33kV lines and 4,670km of 11kV lines. In the power transmission subsector, Oyedele said the organization had likewise attempted more than 121 transmission line and substation projects.
