We’re probing system disturbance – NISO

The Nigerian Independent System Operator (NISO) has said it is investigating the cause of a system disturbance on the national grid at 11: 20 hrs Wednesday.
According to a statement signed by NISO’s management Wednesday, “The disturbance was caused by the tripping of a GenCo, resulting ina significant load drop, which cascaded to other GenCos, leading to a system disturbance.
“NISO immediately commenced restoration of the grid at 11:45 hrs, beginning with supply to Abuja from the Shiroro power plant, and substantial restoration has been achieved across the country. A full investigation into the immediate and remote causes is underway. The outcome (s) of the investigation report would determine the remedial and proactive actions to be taken to forestall future occurrences.
“We crave your indulgence to bear with us as restoration is still ongoing,” the agency said.
