Baba, we have light in Ibadan o. Very good electricity supply. We have always given kudos to TCN & IBEDC. They're doing a great job.
This is a really sad development.
Which area in Ibadan?

Why this stupid IBEDC man dey put mouth for TCN matter? Is he TCN spokesman? Ppl wey dey look for reasons to reject load from TCN now have enough reason to push blame. In all, there is always redundancy, the second transformer will be brought in to shut d disco mouth

That's where I am currently doing my internship ... It was a horrible day today. We have been isolating the affected transformer so we can power back the switch yards. Hopefully, that will be done before noon tomorrow. We will only be faced with the challenge of loading as one transformer alone rated 150mva can't take care of a feeding load of over 200mva. We might have to shed load in some areas. Anyways it was an experience today.
is there going to be light at odo ona as well?

No charging and outrageous billings for thd period of blackout, please. Or else, IBEDC should expect to be charged to court for anti-trust business practice, flagrant disregard for fairness and official frauds, cummulative...

I am guessing it is that Chinese LEEEC transformer that got burnt, Not so?

Was there light even when the TCN didn't get burnt?

Yeah, I stay at oluwo Nla in Bashorun.

For the past two weeks now, the maximum time they do disconnect light is 20 minutes in 24 hours.
This is not an overstatement.

Tell me a better place for an electrical engineering student to gain real time experience than a transmission station? I don't even have anything to say to you.

I believe
Setting electricity transmission substation on fire is d latest means to cash out by these corrupt energy distribution workers n their conniving contractors
Same way a sub station was razed down around agbara industrial estate about 3 months ago throwing the entire environment into complete black out for a month or so. I only hope these installation s are well insured

There is at least 15-22 hours light daily in areas being serviced by that substation....

Yeah.. I have firsthand knowledge of the station. I've been there. I spent sometime at Ayede during the installation and commissioning of that LEEEC. It is the latest to be installed, unfortunately it's not a solidly built transformer like the other ones that are there.

I hope the Mitsubishi and Areva transformer are still in good condition.. They should be able to still transmit some power with those Two.

That's really nice. The LEECE has been doing great though ... Rarely been an issue till yesterday. The others are perfectly fine. We might need to move some loads from T1A
