The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced that the national grid is fully restored after a partial disturbance on Saturday.

According to a statement by TCN’s General Manager of Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, the disturbance was suspected to have been triggered by the unexpected tripping of three units of a power generating station.

The tripping of the units suddenly removed 313MW from the grid, causing system instability and the loss of bulk supply to a section of the national grid.

 

“The system disturbance is suspected to have been triggered by the unexpected tripping of three (3) units of a power generating station, which suddenly removed 313MW from the grid, causing system instability that led to the loss of bulk supply to a section of the national grid,” the statement read.

However, the System Operator reacted quickly to the sudden drop in generation, islanding a section of the grid that includes the Ibom Power Station.
