National grid: TCN confirms total system collapse | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News

The TCN made the confirmation in a statement by its General Manager, Public Affairs, Mrs Ndidi Mbah, obtained by the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos.

Mbah said: “The TCN hereby states that at about 11.01 a.m today, May 12, 2021, there was a total system collapse of the grid, as a result of voltage collapse at some parts of the grid. “TCN commenced grid recovery immediately after the collapse, from Shiroro Generating Station to Katampe TS, Abuja through the Shiroro – Katampe line at 11:29 a.m and also through Delta Generating Station to Benin Transmission Substation and has reached Osogbo and parts of Lagos.”According to her, while the restoration of the grid and power gradually progress to other parts of the country, the cause of the voltage collapse that precipitated this failure is equally being investigated.

“TCN appeals for patience as it works assiduously to ensure full restoration of the grid and consequently power supply to the remaining parts of the country,” she added. NAN reports that the national grid on Feb. 17, experienced partial collapse leading to the power outage in some parts of Nigeria including Lagos State.

More than 60 years as an independent country, Nigeria is still struggling with collapse of national grid. Shame on our leaders.
