TCN Attributes Power Failure to System Collapse

By Dwelleth Morountodun

The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has said that it regrets to inform electricity consumers nationwide that at 11:25am

on Monday, the nation’s electricity grid experienced multiple trippings, which led to the collapse of the system.

TCN’s General Manager in charge of Public Relations, Mrs. Ndidi Mbah, in a statement made available to the media, said TCN has since commenced grid restoration; power has been successfully restored to every part of the country, except Calabar, Ugwuaji, Markurdi, Jos, Gombe, Yola and Maidugiri axes.

The effort is, however, ongoing to ensure full restoration nationwide, she added.

She said the company regrets the inconvenience this has caused electricity consumers, adding that investigations would be conducted to establish the immediate and remote cause(s) of the multiple trippings as soon as the grid is fully restored – considering that the grid had been relatively stable in the last couple of months.
