Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, said power has been restored to parts of Nigeria affected by the blackout on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson for TCN, Ndidi Mbah, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

According to TCN, Wednesday\u2019s outage was caused by the Omotosho\u2013Ikeja West 330-kilovolt transmission line tripping at the Omotosho end at around 11:34 am.<\/p>\n

TCN confirmed that the incident affected electricity supply to Lagos, Abuja, and Osogbo.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) wishes to clarify that at 11:34 hours today, the Omotosho\u2013Ikeja West 330kV transmission line tripped at the Omotosho end. At the time, the Benin\u2013Egbin 330kV line was on a scheduled outage for mechanical line tracing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe tripping resulted in a cascaded outage affecting the Lagos, Abuja, and Osogbo axes. However, all other parts of the grid remained unaffected.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe line has been successfully restored, and normal power supply has been fully restored to the affected areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe assure Nigerians of our commitment to the efficient delivery of bulk power across the nation as we continue to implement measures to enhance the stability of the national grid,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n

Parts of Abuja have yet to receive supply from Abuja Electricity Distribution Company as of the time of filing this report.<\/p>\n

The National Grid experienced a disturbance on Wednesday, plunging parts of Nigeria into darkness.<\/p>\n
