National grid collapse: Vandalism on transmission tower caused blackout - FG by atoluwash(m) : 9:08 am On Apr 10, 2022 |
The federal government has said that the recent nationwide blackout was caused by the vandalization of transmission power in the south-south region of the country. This is coming after the ministry of power said a detailed investigation into the recurring grid collapse was ongoing. Isa Sanusi, media spokesperson of the ministry of power in a statement released on Saturday, April 9, said the recent grid collapse has been traced to Odukpani-Ikot Ekpene 330kV double circuit transmission line. The statement read; “Further to our earlier press release, we wish to apprise the general public that the immediate cause of the national blackout (system collapse) was an act of vandalism on a transmission tower on the Odukpani-Ikot Ekpene 330kV double circuit transmission line thus resulting in a sudden loss of about 400 MW of generation. “This consequently led to a cascade of plants shutdown across the country. “We wish to notify the public that power on the grid is being restored sequentially by the system operator as other on-grid power plants are being dispatched to cover the lost generation capacity from the Calabar power plant owned by the Niger Delta Power Holding Company Ltd.” Source: https://aderonkebamidele.com/national-grid-collapse-vandalism-on-transmission-tower-caused-blackout-fg/ |
