They have equally reconfigured the busbar arrangement, restoring power supply to the station, and other parts of the grid\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-nerc-to-hold-public-hearing\">NERC to hold public hearing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reacting to the latest setback in electricity supply, the industry regulator, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, expressed concern over the rising incidents of grid collapse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Commission in a statement posted on its verified X handle said it will hold a public hearing on the issue in the coming days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The statement read: \u201cThe Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission notes with concern the recent escalating incidence of grid disturbances often leading to marked outage in several states thus reversing many of the gains recently achieved in reducing infrastructure deficit and improving grid stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cInitial reports on the grid disturbance that occurred this morning indicate that today\u2019s outage was triggered by an explosion of a current transformer at the Jebba transmission station at 08.15hrs and the associated cascade of power plants shut down arising from the loss of load. However, efforts to restore supply have advanced with power significantly restored, as at 13.00hrs, in 33 states and the FCT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn line with the provisions of the Electricity Act 2023, the unbundling of the System Operator function (ISO) out of Transmission Company of Nigeria Plc is ongoing with the expectation that an independent SO would engender more discipline in grid management and optimized investment in infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn pursuit of finding a permanent resolution to the challenges of the national grid, the Commission shall shortly conduct an investigative public hearing to identify immediate and remote causes of recurring incidence of grid disturbances and widespread outages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe date and venue of the public hearing will shortly be announced in the national dailies and stakeholders are encouraged to participate\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Checks on grid data showed that as of 3.49 pm, six DisCos had received 760MW combined with Jos, Kaduna, Kano, Port Harcourt and Yola DisCos still without load allocation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-discos-apologise-to-customers\">DisCos apologise to customers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Electricity Distribution Companies, DisCos, have apologized to their customers, asking them to show understanding as efforts were being made to stabilize the system. In a notice to its customers, Eko DisCos, stated: \u201cKindly be informed that we experienced a system outage today 19\/10\/24 at 08:15Hrs affecting power supply across our network. \u201cThe relevant stakeholders are currently working to effect restoration of supply to all locations affected by this development. Kindly bear with us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Checks by Vanguard indicated that other DisCos have also apologized to their customers in different parts of the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-instability-hurting-households-businesses-cppe\">Instability hurting households, businesses \u2014 CPPE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an interview with Vanguard, yesterday, the Director\/CEO, Centre for the Promotion of Private Enterprise, CPPE, Dr. Muda Yusuf, said: \u201cThe frequency of national grid collapse is worrisome and alarming. Energy is critical for business operations and the welfare of the people. So, anytime there is grid collapse, it dislocates the activities of citizens and businesses because the cost of alternatives, mostly the Premium Motor Spirit, PMS, also known as petrol and diesel are very prohibitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat is why it is very concerning. This is why we need to expedite actions on reforms to decentralize sources of energy so that we do not over-depend on the grid. We need to work towards enabling renewables to play increased roles in the nation\u2019s energy mix by removing all forms of taxes and levies. This would go a long way to make the cost of renewable energy more affordable to Nigerians.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Transmission Company of Nigeria had, on Friday, announced that two towers along its 330kV Shiroro-Kaduna transmission lines one and two have been vandalized, damaging parts of both transmission lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to reports from the Shiroro Regional office of TCN, the 330kV transmission line one tripped first, followed shortly by the second. Efforts were still ongoing to reclose the first line, prompting the urgent mobilization of local vigilantes to patrol the lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This led to the discovery of two damaged towers \u2013 towers T133 and tower T 136 \u2013 with their cables badly damaged at several points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It stated that arrangements were in top gear to deploy the newly procured \u201cemergency restoration system\u201d to the site, pending the reconstruction of the damaged towers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTCN has also conducted an aerial survey in collaboration with security operatives, given the area\u2019s vulnerability to banditry, which poses a significant threat to both TCN installations and personnel.<br\/>\u201cIn the interim, our engineers have implemented a temporary measure to supply bulk power to the Kaduna and Kano regions via the 330kV Kaduna-Jos transmission line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe vandalized Shiroro-Kaduna 330kV lines 1&amp;2 are vital lines through which bulk power is transmitted to parts of the North West region, with each line capable of carrying 600MW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe vandalism of the towers and transmission lines presents a significant challenge to bulk power transmission in that axis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are, however, committed to re-erecting the towers and restringing the transmission lines to restore bulk power transmission through both 330kV power transmission lines,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Credit: Vanguard Nigeria<\/p>\n\n                <p><strong>DISCLAIMER: <\/strong>The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.<\/p>      \n               \n <!-- Post Tags -->\n                \n\n                        \n\n    \n                                 \n                                             \n                    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A transformer explosion at Jebba Transmission Substation triggered a third National Power Grid collapse on Saturday, leaving the country without a public power supply for several hours.
