The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has attributed the latest national grid collapse, which occurred around 1:52 p.m. on Tuesday, to a series of line and generator trappings.

According to a statement from Ndidi Mbah, TCN’s spokesperson, the incident led to a partial, rather than total, grid collapse.

The TCN clarified that data from the National Control Centre in Osogbo, Osun State indicated that portions of the grid remained unaffected by the disruption. “This followed a series of lines and generators trippings that caused instability of the grid and, consequently, the partial disturbance of the system,” the statement noted.

Efforts to restore power have commenced, with bulk power supply to Abuja reinstated around 2:49 p.m. on Tuesday. TCN engineers are actively working to restore power to other affected areas across the country.
