The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) says the restoration of the national grid that collapsed on Monday is almost complete.
Ndidi Mbah, the Public Affairs General Manager of TCN, said, in a statement on Tuesday, that the national grid “experienced a partial disturbance” on Monday, October 14.
Mbah said TCN continued with the grid recovery process, which has reached an advanced stage, ensuring “bulk power availability” to about 90% of its substations nationwide.
However, a slight setback occurred on Tuesday, causing a lull in the recovery process.
According to him, supply has been partially restored to some areas in Abuja and other major distribution load centres.
The partial disturbance did not affect the Ibom Gas generating station, which was islanded from the grid yesterday (Monday).
Nafisat Ali, TCN’s Executive Director, had explained that the causes of grid collapse in Nigeria spread across all participants, from generation companies to transmission and distribution.
