The Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, says it has fully restored the National Grid after a fire incident at the Afam Power Generating Station, which caused a partial disturbance of the Nation's Grid.
A statement released by the TCN this afternoon, Monday April 15, explained that the fire erupted at the Afam V 330kV bus bar coupler, leading to the tripping of units at Afam III and Afam VI.
According to TCN, the fire outbreak, resulted in a sudden generation loss of 25MW and 305MW respectively, destabilizing the grid and causing a partial collapse.
Fresh Angle International, understands that during the incident, the Ibom Power Plant was isolated from the grid and was supplying parts of the Port Harcourt Region.
This further minimized the effect of the system disturbance. TCN confirmed that the affected section of the grid has been fully restored and stabilized.
