The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced that it had restored full power transmission to the nation’s grid after a collapse at 16.44pm last weekend, 23rd April, 2016, due to sudden generation loss.
In a statement signed by the spokesperson of the company, Seun Olagunju, TCN stated that the partial collapse of the system was specifically caused by a sudden loss of 200mw of generation due to technical reasons.
It also informed that the problem was quickly resolved by the company’s engineers, hence the restoration of full power transmission to the grid.
It would be recalled that low generation has been experienced in the country for the last few weeks sequel to gas inadequacy to the thermal power plants, following the vandalism of gas pipelines.
According to the statement, “The grid has since been restored and available generation is being evacuated from all running power plants and transmitted by TCN to the networks of the Discos for onward delivery to the customers.”
TCN further reiterated its commitment to continually work at improving power transmission service in the sector.
