Transmission Company Commences Grid Recovery After System Collapse

The Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN says there is total system collapse of the grid, as a result of voltage collapse at some parts of the grid.

The company said it has however commenced grid recovery immediately after the collapse, from Shiroro Generating Station to Katampe TS, Abuja through the Shiroro – Katampe line and also through Delta Generating Station to Benin Transmission Substation and has reached Osogbo and parts of Lagos.

It explained that while the grid restoration and power restoration gradually progressed to other parts of the country, the cause of voltage collapse that precipitated the failure was equally being investigated.

The management of the Transmission Company of Nigeria therefore appealed for patience as it was working assiduously to ensure full restoration of the grid and consequently power supply to the remaining parts of the country.
