We have fully restored collapsed national grid – TCN 

The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) on Friday said it had successfully restored the national grid after a system disturbance that occurred at 4:28pm on Thursday, March 28, 2024.

It said in a statement that full recovery was achieved by 10pm that same day.

According to a report from the National Control Centre (NCC) in Osogbo, the system disturbance was triggered by a significant reduction in generation capacity, primarily due to gas constraints.

This reduction led to a rapid decline in system frequency and created a sudden imbalance in the grid.

The imbalance in grid stability was exacerbated by the sudden tripping of Egbin generation turbine 3, resulting in an additional loss of 167MW load and the subsequent collapse of the grid.

The statement by Ndidi Mbah, General Manager, Public Relations of the TCN partly read, “The grid has, however, since been recovered and is stable, and is currently transmitting all the generated power to distribution load centres nationwide.

“TCN emphasizes its unwavering commitment to addressing grid challenges and actively working to mitigate disruptions.

“In instances where challenges extend beyond TCN’s control, the company collaborates with other stakeholders in the power sector value chain to minimize the impact and swiftly restore the grid to normal operation.”
