The Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, on Saturday said that no system collapse has been recorded this year but line tripping.
TCN disclosed this in a statement via their official X
handle in Abuja.
It said, ”TCN management will like to reiterate that there
has been no system collapse this year.
”On February 12, when the Omotosho-Ikeja West 330 Kilo Volt (kV) transmission line tripped, the Benin-Egbin 330kV line was on a scheduled outage for mechanical line tracing.
”The tripping resulted in a cascaded outage, causing loss of
supply within Abuja, Lagos, and Osogbo axis”, adding that other parts of
Nigeria are fully intact.
Meanwhile, full restoration of bulk power supply to affected
areas had since been completed.
The company said it was pertinent to note that the Nigerian
Electricity Supply Industry, NESI, was being regulated by the Nigerian
Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, and governed by industry documents.
”The documents reserve for the National Control Centre
System Operator or her designated back-up, the National Supplementary Control
Centre (SNCC) has the exclusive right to provide information to the public
about events and status of the grid,” it said.
This is coming after TCN restored power to parts of Nigeria
affected by the blackout last Wednesday.
