Abuja, Oct. 15, 2024 – The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has assured of full restoration of the national grid as soon as possible.
It said efforts to fully recover the national grid were almost completed after the partial disturbance on Monday.
Mrs Ndidi Mbah, its General Manager (Public Affairs), said in a statement on Tuesday that the recovery process commenced swiftly, with Azura Power Station providing the necessary black start.
She said by 10:24 a.m. on Tuesday, the grid recovery had reached advanced stages, in spite of encountering a brief challenge that caused a minor setback.
“Notwithstanding the setback, TCN continued its recovery efforts, achieving significant progress.
“Bulk power availability has been restored to approximately 90 percent of its substations nationwide, with supply reinstated to the Abuja axis and other major distribution load centres.
“The partial disturbance did not affect the Ibom Gas generating station, which continued to supply power to areas in the South Southern part of the country, including Eket, Ekim, Uyo, and Itu 132 kilovolt transmission substations.” (GBN)
