The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) says the national grid, which collapsed earlier on Monday, has been restored.
โThe restoration of the affected part of the grid commenced immediately at 11.55 am with Osogbo/Ihovbor back to the grid followed by Jebba/Osogbo, Kainji/Jebba, Benin/Onisha, Shiroro/Kaduna, Shiroro/Katampe, and Alaoji/Ikot-Ekpene,โ it said in a statement on Monday.
โOthers are Lokoja/Gwagwalada, Odukpani/Ikot Ekpene, Benin/Omotosho, Oke-Aro/Ikeja west, Egbin/Oke-Aro and Kaduna/Kano.โ
While explaining the cause of the incident, the TCN said it was due to โa sudden drop in system frequency, which created system instabilityโ.
โThe National Control Centre (NCC) said a full-scale investigation is being conducted to establish and ascertain the cause of the partial disturbance as this unwholesome event has resulted in aggregated generation loss,โ the agency added.
Earlier in the day, electricity distribution companies had informed their customers of the disruption of power, citing the collapse of the national grid.
Mondayโs incident is the latest in a series of blackouts in the country owing to the incessant collapse of the national grid.
