Grid instability did not cause IE Band A outages, TCN says

The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) says grid instability did not cause the Ikeja Electric (IE) Band A outages reported on Nov. 3 and 4. TCN communications chief Ndidi Mba said the 2023 Electricity Act assigns the Nigerian Independent System Operator (NISO), not distribution companies, responsibility for determining the causes of grid disruptions. NISO attributed lower power generation to gas supply constraints at thermal plants and reduced hydroelectric output, cutting the energy allocated to distributors. TCN records showed interruptions were mainly linked to low-generation load shedding, faults or allocation non-compliance on IE’s network, and planned maintenance—not TCN equipment failures.

Power outage: TCN disputes Ikeja Disco’s claim of grid instability in Lagos

The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) disputes Ikeja Electric’s (IKEDC) claim that outages on November 3 and 4 were caused by grid instability. TCN says reduced supply resulted from lower generation, citing gas constraints at thermal power stations and reduced hydroelectric output, as explained by system operator NISO. Of interruptions on feeders serving IKEDC on November 1 and 2, 68% were frequency-control load shedding due to low generation, 26% involved IKEDC’s network faults or failure to follow allocations, and 6% were related to TCN maintenance or transmission limitations. Among 46 interruptions on the 33kV feeders cited by IKEDC, 29 stemmed from low generation and 14 were attributed to IKEDC.
