We’ve restored grid after temporary disturbance — TCN

The Transmission Company of Nigeria says it has restored the national grid after experiencing temporary disturbance at about 8:15am on Saturday.

Ndidi Mbah, the General Manager in charge of Public Affairs of TCN, made this known in a statement issued  in Abuja on Saturday.

Mbah said that TCN engineers at Jebba successfully carried out switchings by isolating the faulty current transformer.

She said that the engineers had equally reconfigured the busbar arrangement, restoring power supply to the station and other parts of the grid.

She said according to the report from the National Control Center, the bus section of a current transformer exploded at the 330kV Jebba Transmission Substation.
