The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has said the grid collapse that occurred at 11:34 on Wednesday was as a result of tripping of the Omotosho-Ikeja West 330kV transmission line.

A statement by TCN’s General Manager on Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, said at the time, the Benin-Egbin 330kV line was on a scheduled outage for mechanical line tracing.

“The tripping resulted in a cascaded outage affecting the Lagos, Abuja, and Osogbo axis. However, all other parts of the grid remained unaffected, contrary to reports of a grid collapse in the media.”

She said the line had been successfully restored, and normal power supply had been fully restored to the affected areas.
