โโThe national grid experienced a voltage disturbance which originated from the Gombe Transmission Substation.
โ
โโThe disturbance rapidly propagated across the network, affecting Jebba, Kainji, and subsequently Ayede Transmission Substations. The event was accompanied by the tripping of some transmission lines and generating units, resulting in a partial system collapse.
โ
โโAppropriate corrective actions were immediately implemented to stabilise the system and restore normal operations. Restoration, which began at about 11:11 a.m., has since been completed.
โ
โโThe incident only affected part of the grid; therefore, it was not a total collapse as reported.โ
