The Transmission Company of Nigeria(TCN) says the collapsed national grid has been “fully restored”.
Thefrontrank reports that the national grid collapsed on Sunday, causing power outage nationwide.
Mrs Ndidi Mbah, General Manager, Public Affairs, TCN, in a statement on Sunday said that the company initiated immediate restoration of the affected part of the grid.
According to Mbah, the incident affects the Ibom power islanded, feeding Eket, Ekim, Itu and Uyo transmission substations.
“TCN initiated immediate restoration of the affected part of the grid, and presently, the grid is fully restored.
“Prior to the incident, the total generation on the grid was 3,901.25 MW at 08:00Hours, a little over three hours before the time of partial collapse,” she said.
Mbah explained that low power generation has persisted since January 2024 to date, exacerbating daily due to the lingering gas constraint.
“According to the National Control Center, NCC, the Internet of Things, IoT, revealed that just before the partial disturbance, which occurred at 11:21Hrs today, Sapele Steam & Egbin Substations lost a total of 29.32MW & 343.84MW at 11:20:14Hrs & 11:20:17Hrs respectively, totalling 373.16MW.
“This, combined with the current low power generation due to gas constraints, caused the imbalance leading to the partial system disturbance.
“Gas constraints continue to impact grid flexibility and stability,” she stated.
