GRID COLLAPSE AFTER 421 DAYS OF STABILITY; RESTORATION IS AT ADVANCED STAGES

The Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, hereby notes that grid restoration nationwide is in progress and has reached advanced stages with power supply now available in the West, North Central, South, East, and a large portion of the Northern parts of the country.

The power supply restoration is sequel to the total grid collapse, which occurred at 12.35 am, this morning, causing outage nationwide, after over 421 days of consistent grid stability.

In the course of the grid restoration, the process initially suffered a setback; this does not amount to another collapse. In the course of any grid restoration process, challenges may be encountered. This happened today while the grid restoration was in progress, but it was promptly addressed.

It would be recalled that the last total system collapse recorded was on 20th July 2022, from then to the 13th of September, 2023, ( 421 days), the system had been stable in spite of the challenges posed by zero spinning reserve and lack of adequate System

Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) essential to a strong and stable grid, among others

TCN had been able to maintain 421 days of grid stability because it developed and deployed in-house stop gap measures and tools that it has continued to use to manage the nations grid, ensuring its stability.

Meanwhile, the collapse which occurred after a fire incident on Kanji/Jebba 330kV line 2 is being investigated, with the view to forestalling future occurrence and invariably further strengthen the grid.

The incident notwithstanding, TCN is determined to continue to do its best to ensure grid stability.

Eko Electricity Distribution Company

Kontri of 220 million people producing 4,000+ MW electricity they can't still keep the grid stable UAE <10 million people 27,000+ MW capacity

This is the type of Kontri you will get when Fashola the lawyer is your power minister for many years or Keyamo the debater is your aerospace minister. We're in for a long ride Nigerians

I suggest government start to give alternate power loan to government workers and registers business owners

Finance solar setup for business owners and salary earners while they pay back in 2-5yrs with soft interest

Petrol or diesel generator is not a good alternative power supply

Just as the average citizens is trying to have a stake in government, criminals gangs, cartels and terrorists groups that can quickly mobilize cash and personel for elections are also pushing to have a stake and their interests promoted. Who do we think this APC government will listen to?

Keep giving us excuses

Yeah , just received light now tho it didn't last

Is power supply in the exclusive list of the federal government? Very bad. Grid system should be abolished and allow organizations and levels of government to invest in power supply.

Lastly, nuclear power supply has recently being adjudged the best sustainable power supply by scientists. But what's Nigeria waiting to embrace it to tackle this century of epileptic electricity supply? High time concern citizens rise take away ethnicity and religion and push for a good policy that will liberate this nation.
