Benin-Omotosho Line Tripping, Not Grid Collapse –TCN

Posted on January 11, 2025

The Transmission Company of Nigeria TCN hereby states that the nation’s grid did not experience any collapse today, contrary to the widely published misinformation in media.

Earlier today, at about 13:41Hrs, the Osogbo – Ihovour line tripped, followed by the tripping of the Benin – Omotosho line.

These consequently affected bulk supply to only Lagos axis alone.

It is important to clarify that at about 13:00 Hrs, today, just before the tripping, total generation on the grid was 4,335.63.

After the trippings, however, generation was 2,573.23, showing clearly that the grid did not experience a collapse.

The transmission line tripping affected Egbin, Olorunsogo, Omotoso, Geregu, and Paras. 12 units, but these have all been restored except the Benin-Omotoso 330kV line.

As TCN continues to work hard to put in place a robust transmission grid, inspite of prevailing challenges. It is imperative that we understand the negative impact of deliberately misinforming the public and the value of disseminating true and verifiable facts.
