Nigeria: National power grid collapses again

Date: 2024-11-05

The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has confirmed that “the national grid experienced a partial disturbance at about 1:52 pm today, November 5, 2024.”

The spokesperson of the TCN, Ndidi Mbah said, “This followed a series of line and generator tripping that caused instability in the grid and, consequently, the partial disturbance of the system.”

She stated that data from the National Control Centre revealed that a part of the grid was not affected by the bulk power disruption.

“TCN engineers are already working to quickly restore bulk power supply to the states affected by the partial disturbance. Presently, bulk power supply has been restored to Abuja at 2:49 pm, and we are gradually restoring it to other parts of the country.

“We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause our electricity customers,” she added.
