Power Grid Shut Down Reason For Blackout-TCN

Explaining that the blackout was due to grid instability as the system was forced to shut down, the TCN Managing Director (MD), Mr. Usman Gur Mohammed, explained that it takes a minimum of one day for the grid to be stabilised, adding that the entire country had been reached, and supply would be gradually restored.

“At the point of ramping up, the grid was brought down by force and this caused a lot of problems but as of today, we have reached all parts of the country. However it takes time, it is a gradual thing. Normally it takes more than one day,” he said.
