TCN has reported power outage in the northeast, northwest and parts of north-central after 330-kilovolt (kV) Ugwaji–Apir double circuit transmission lines 1 and 2 tripped on Tuesday.
The Transmission Company of Nigeria has reported power outage in the northeast, northwest and parts of north-central after 330-kilovolt Ugwaji–Apir double circuit transmission lines 1 and 2 tripped on Tuesday.
“At approximately 4:53 am, the Ugwuaji-Makurdi 330kV Line 2 tripped, and 243 MW on that line was transferred to Line 1 on the same route. At 4:58 am, Line 1 also tripped, resulting in a total loss of 468 MW. By around 5:15 am and 5:17 am, Line 1 and Line 2 were tried, but they all tripped immediately on the same relay indication.
“This restricted not only the patrol team but also made it difficult to refuel patrol vehicles for the long-distance line trace. However, arrangements were made for security operatives to guide the team, who have now commenced fault tracing this morning.“Currently, TCN has restored supply to the 132kV transmission line from New Haven to Apir, but the 330kV lines remain out of service, affecting power supply in the northern region.
