The Transmission Company of Nigeria has said that Monday’s national grid collapse was partial, noting that it has begun system recovery to restore supply.

The spokesperson of TCN, Ndidi Mbah disclosed this to DAILY POST in a chat on Monday.

According to her, the national grid did not collapse entirely as the Akwa Ibom generating Station was “Islanded” to enable it to continue supply through the Eket, Ekim, Uyo and Itu 132 Kilovolt substation.

“It was a partial system disturbance.”

“The entire system did not collapse as the IBOM Generating Station was ISLANDED (i.e. separated to stand alone to continue supplying some areas to avoid the entire system going down), to enable It to continue to supply through the eket, Ekim, Uyo, and Itu 132kv substations.

“Recovery is currently ongoing and has advanced significantly”, she told DAILY POST.

This comes as DAILY POST reported that Nigeria on Monday at 6:48 pm was thrown into darkness.

The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company confirmed the national grid collapse in a statement by its spokesperson, Emeka Ezeh on Monday.

Abuja Electricity Distribution Company and Eko Electricity Distribution Company also confirmed the national grid collapse.

TCN recorded zero load allocation to the eleven Electricity Distribution Companies.

As of the time of filing this report, power supply is yet to be restored across parts of the country.
