The Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, has said that the National Grid did not collapse but rather tripped off on Saturday, January 11, 2025.
Spokesperson of the transmission company, Ndidi Mbah, made the clarification in a statement on Saturday.
The development became necessary following media reports that the National Grid recorded its first collapse in 2025 on Saturday.
Meanwhile, TCN gave an explanation that the Benin-Omotosho line tripped off at around 13:41 pm on Saturday and did not collapsed.
The transmission company, however, confirmed that the tripping off affected the bulk supply of electricity to the Lagos axis.
TCN stated that electricity generation at the national grid stood at 2,573.23 megawatts after the tripping.
