The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has said that efforts are ongoing to fully recover the national grid from a partial disturbance experienced on Monday, 14th October, 2024 at about 6:48pm
The company said though recovery of the grid commenced immediately, with Azura power station providing the blackstart, grid recovery reached advanced stages at about 10.24am, on Tuesday when it encountered another challenge that caused a slight setback in the recovery process.
“The slight setback notwithstanding, TCN continued with the grid recovery process, which has reached an advanced stage, ensuring bulk power availability to about 90% of its substations nationwide. Supply has been restored to the Abuja axis and other major distribution load centers nationwide”.
