The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), on Tuesday afternoon, stated that the national grid experienced a partial disturbance at about 1:52pm.
The development followed a series of lines and generators trippings that caused instability of the grid and, consequently, the partial disturbance of the power system.
A statement signed by TCN General Manager, Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, a copy of which was sent to News Direct, however, noted that the data from the National Control Centre (NCC) in Osogbo, Osun State, 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 2.49pm, and we are gradually restoring to other parts of the country.
“We sincerely apologize for every inconvenience this may cause our electricity customers,” Mbah stated.
