The Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, has said bulk power restoration has begun hours after Nigeria was plunged into darkness due to another national grid collapse. TCN spokesperson Ndidi Mbah disclosed this in a statement, confirming that the grid collapsed for twelve times around 11:29 am on Thursday.
DAILY POST reports that Nigeria was thrown into another round of darkness on Thursday after the national grid collapsed for the second time this week. Reacting to Thursday's national grid collapse, TCN said, 'The frequency spike was caused by issues encountered at one of our substations, which had to be shut down to prevent further complications.
'This includes the 330kV transmission lines along the Shiroro-Mando axis, major upgrades at the Jebba Transmission Substation, and the restoration of the second Ugwuaji-Apir 330kV transmission line. 'Furthermore, following the submission of the investigative report on the causes of previous grid collapses, we have begun addressing the identified weaknesses in the transmission system.
