It said, ”TCN management will like to reiterate that there has been no system collapse this year.
”On February 12, when the Omotosho-Ikeja West 330 Kilo Volt (kV) transmission line tripped, the Benin-Egbin 330kV line was on a scheduled outage for mechanical line tracing.
”The tripping resulted in a cascaded outage, causing loss of supply within Abuja, Lagos, and Osogbo axis”, adding that other parts of Nigeria are fully intact.
Meanwhile, full restoration of bulk power supply to affected areas had since been completed.
