TCN GETS COMMENDATION, RECORDS DECLINE IN GRID DISTURBANCES ..... Says About 10% Decline Recorded In 5Yrs

"No doubt there is room for improvement, and TCN will continue to work hard to further reduce the number of grid disturbances to the barest minimum."  Mbah.

The Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN has given itself a clap on the back following the decline in the number of grid disturbances recorded over the last couple of years.

According to Ndidi Mbah Mrs, General Manager Public Affairs Division of the TCN in a statement on Wednesday at the Corporate Headquarters of the company in Abuja, "In recent years, the number of grid disturbances/system collapses has gradually reduced, contrary to popular opinion." She stated.

In a statement made available to journalists in the nation's capital, the TCN Head of Public Affairs noted that, "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 General Manager Public Affairs of the Transmission Company of Nigeria however insists that there is room for improvement.

"No doubt there is room for improvement, and TCN will continue to work hard to further reduce the number of grid disturbances to the barest minimum." She stated.
