“The partial disturbance did not affect the Ibom Gas generating station which was islanded from the grid yesterday and continued to supply areas in the South Southern part of the country such as Eket, Ekim, Uyo, and Itu 132kV transmission Substations during the period,” the TCN spokesperson said. Mbah said an investigation into the cause of the incident would be carried out as soon as the grid is fully restored.
