The Nation Newspaper TCN restores grid after collapse
The statement reads in part: “The Transmission Company of Nigeria has successfully restored the national grid following a system disturbance that occurred at 4:28 p.m. on Thursday, 28th March 2024, with full recovery achieved by 10:00 p.m. that same day.“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.
“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 grid has, however, since been recovered and is stable, and is currently transmitting all the generated power to distribution load centres nationwide.
“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.”
