Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, has restored the national grid following a system disturbance at 4:28 pm on Thursday, 28th March 2024, amid the Easter Holidays.<\/p>\n

Recall that Nigerians experienced nationwide darkness on Thursday, which resulted from the collapse of the national grid.<\/p>\n

However, TCN, in a statement by its general public Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, said the grid was restored with full recovery achieved by 10:00 pm on Thursday.<\/p>\n

She explained that an imbalance in grid stability caused the disturbance, which was worsened by the sudden tripping of Egbin generation turbine 3.<\/p>\n

\u201cAccording to a report from the National Control Centre (NCC) in Osogbo, the system disturbance was triggered by a significant reduction in generation capacity, primarily due to gas constraints. This reduction led to a rapid decline in system frequency. This created a sudden imbalance in the grid.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe grid has, however, been recovered and is stable, and all the generated power is currently transmitted to distribution load centres nationwide\u201d, she said.<\/p>\n

Nigeria\u2019s power supply has remained abysmal since January 2024.<\/p>\n
