“This resulted in a sudden generation loss of 25MW and 305MW respectively, destabilizing the grid and causing a partial collapse,” the TCN official said.
According to her, during the incident, the Ibom Power Plant was isolated from the grid and was supplying parts of the Port Harcourt region.
“This further minimized the effect of the system disturbance. TCN confirms that the affected section of the grid has been fully restored and stabilized,” she added
