“According to a report from the National Control Centre in Osogbo, the system disturbance was triggered by a significant reduction in generation capacity, primarily due to gas constraints,” Ms Mbah said.“This 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 grid collapse.
“In instances where challenges extend beyond TCN’s control, the company collaborates with other stakeholders in the power sector value chain to minimise the impact and swiftly restore the grid to normal operation,” she said.The system is operated by the Transmission Company of Nigeria from Osogbo, Osun State.
