30 Nov TCN moves to restore electricity after national grid failure

Many parts of the country suffered blackout from Sunday morning, following the collapse of the national grid. As the Transmission Company of Nigeria tried to restore power in some parts towards evening, it said it would investigate the cause of the multiple tripping that led to the collapse of the power grid.

In a statement by its General Manager, Public Affairs,  Ndidi Mbah, TCN said, “At 11:25am today, the nation’s electricity grid experienced multiple tripping, which led to the collapse of the system.

“TCN has since commenced grid restoration; power has been successfully restored to every part of the country, except Calabar, Ugwuaji, Makurdi, Jos, Gombe, Yola and Maidugiri axes

“We regret the inconvenience this has caused electricity consumers. Investigations would be conducted to establish the immediate and remote cause(s) of the multiple tripping as soon as the grid is fully restored – considering that the grid had been relatively stable in the last couple of months.”
