The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has confirmed Wednesday collapse of the national power grid, saying it was caused by voltage slump in some parts of the system.
The company said it has however commenced grid recovery immediately after the collapse, from Shiroro Generating Station to Katampe TS, Abuja through the Shiroro – Katampe line and also through Delta Generating Station to Benin Transmission Substation and has reached Osogbo and parts of Lagos.
It explained that while the grid restoration and power restoration gradually progresses to other parts of the country, the cause of voltage collapse that precipitated the failure is equally being investigated.
The management of the Transmission Company of Nigeria appealed for patience, assuring that is working hard to ensure full restoration of the grid and consequently power supply to the remaining parts of the country.
