Blackout: Nigeria’s National Grid Collapses by Nobody: 12:38am On Sep 30, 2017 |
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) said a total system collapse of the national grid was recorded on Sept. 28 at 8:03 p.m., resulting in temporary loss of electricity generation for the nation’s power grid. A statement from TCN’s management on Friday in Abuja said that reports obtained from power stations and the sequence of events generated by the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) had revealed the cause of the collapse. It said the SCADA system report indicated that the system collapse was triggered by the tripping of Egbin power plants Units ST4, ST6 and ST5.It, however, said that restoration of grid system had also commenced at 8:22 p.m. on Sept. 28. According to the statement, a post mortem analysis of the issue indicated that grid generation was curtailed to about 4,262.7 Mega Watts (MW) before the disturbance. It further revealed that the analysis conducted clearly showed that there was insufficient level of rotating reserve provided by grid-connected generation companies a rising from low tariffs for providing ancillary services. It said TCN had filed an application to the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) for an extraordinary tariff review to avert further occurrence of such incident. Source:. Vanguard |

Nigerian's inability to provide constant and reliable electricity supply over the years is shameful. Totally shameful! Honestly speaking at this point, I'm doubtful if my generation would ever experience 24 hours/365 days of uninterrupted power supply. I'd be very happy if we did. |

whitebeard: Without any shadow of doubt the Nigerian gov't has the ability to provide constant and reliable electricity supply for Nigerians. However, the real and intriguing question is why hasn't it done so? It beats me, bro. And I'm sure it beats you, too. |
