The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has revealed that the number of grid disturbances/system collapses has gradually reduced In recent years, contrary to popular opinion.
According to the Company, “Clearly, between 2020 to date (five years), we recorded fourteen total and six partial grid disturbances totalling twenty (20), which represents a 76.47% reduction in grid disturbance, when compared to the previous five years, (2015 to 2019) where we had sixty-four total and twenty-one partial grid disturbances, totalling eighty-five (85) times.
“This improvement is, however, not unconnected to the continuous effort by the management under Engr. Sule Abdulaziz to strategically expand the grid while harnessing in-house capacities to find solutions to grid stability, pending the deployment of SCADA/EMS.
The Company stressed further that no doubt there is room for improvement, and it will continue to work hard to further reduce the number of grid disturbances to the barest minimum.
