The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced that the national grid has been completely restored following a partial disruption around 11:21 a.m. on Sunday.
In a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday, Mrs. Ndidi Mbah, TCN’s General Manager of Public Affairs, stated that the company promptly initiated the restoration process for the affected portion of the grid.
Mbah stated that before the incident, the total generation on the grid was 3,901.25 Mega Watts (MW) at 8 a.m., a little over three hours before the partial collapse.
She emphasized that it is crucial to note the persistence of low power generation since January, worsening daily due to the ongoing gas constraint.
According to the National Control Centre (NCC), data from the Internet of Things (IoT) indicated that just before the partial disturbance, which occurred at Sapele, Steam, and Egbin Substations, there was a loss of 29.32MW and 343.84MW at 11:20:14 hrs and 11:20:17 hrs respectively, totalling 373.16MW.
