The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), says the nation’s collapsed grid has been fully restored.
TCN’s General Manager, Public Affairs Ndidi Mbah said in a statement in Abuja on Thursday, that the collapse which occurred at about 12:20 p.m. was restored the same day at 4:59 p.m.
Mbah said that the collapse was triggered by a sudden drop in system frequency to 47.21Hz and said that reports received from Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and other power generating stations showed that at about 12:20 p.m., two generating units tripped in one generating station.
Mbah said that TCN appreciates the government, electricity customers nationwide and international customers for their patience and said that TCN would continue to work hard to expand and maintain the stability of the national grid.
