TCN restores national grid after collapse

The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) says it has restored the national grid after its collapse on Monday.

This was contained in a statement issued on Monday by the TCN General Manager, Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah.

Mbah stated that the national grid experienced partial system disturbance at about 10.50 a.m. after a sudden drop in system frequency, which created system instability.

She said the restoration of the affected grid commenced immediately at 11.55 a.m. with Osogbo/Ihovbor, followed by Jebba/Osogbo, Kainji/Jebba, Benin/Onitsha, Shiroro/Kaduna, Shiroro/Katampe, and Alaoji/Ikot-Ekpene.

Others were Lokoja/Gwagwalada, Odukpani/Ikot Ekpene, Benin/Omotosho, Oke-Aro/Ikeja west, Egbin/Oke-Aro, and Kaduna/Kano.

Mbah noted that the grid restoration has almost been completed, adding that the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI) regrets any inconveniences caused.

“NESI is committed to leveraging the concerted interventions instituted so far to enhance power supply reliability so that the issue of system disturbance will soon become outdated,” she added.

Mbah stated that the National Control Centre would launch full-scale investigation “to establish and ascertain the cause of the partial disturbance as this unwholesome event has resulted in aggregated generation loss.”
