TCN puts measures in place to forestall power system collapse, threatens electricity generation companies

- The Transmission Company of Nigeria is putting measure in place to forestall power system collapse

- It says electricity generation companies that fail to comply with the stipulated frequency control that ensures stability of the power grid will be removed from the grid

- According to the transmission company, 260 megawatts of spinning reserve will soon be deployed by TCN as against the zero or 40 megawatts figure

The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has said that electricity generation companies (GenCos) that fail to comply with the stipulated frequency control that ensures stability of the power grid would be removed from the grid.

TCN said one of the factors responsible for the instability in Nigeria's grid was the failure of some power generators to stick to the prescribed frequency control. According to TCN, this factor leads to power system collapse.

According to the managing director of TCN, Usman Mohammed, the transmission company is working on the grid’s frequency control in accordance with the standards of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), Punch reports.

Legit.ng gathers that he said 260 megawatts of spinning reserve would soon be deployed by TCN as against the zero or 40 megawatts figure.

He said electricity generation companies that do not comply with the frequency control orders would be removed from the grid.

Mohammed said: “At the frequency control, we have maintained 49.5 Hertz and 50.5Hz as we promised. About two weeks ago, we commenced the implementation of moving from 49.5Hz and 50.5Hz to 49.75Hz and 50.25Hz which is the NERC standard. So you could see that in the last few weeks the frequency was more stable than in the past.”

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) said it planned to expand its delivery capacity to 20,000 megawatts by 2021.

This was disclosed at the Presidential Villa in Abuja by its managing director, Usman Mohammed, who urged various distribution companies (DISCOS) in Nigeria to provide electricity meters for consumers.

He said: “We have established transmission, rehabilitation and expansion programme. The main objective of this is to rehabilitate, stabilise and expand the delivery capacity of TCN to at least 20,000 megawatts by 2021 and we are on track."

Mohammed stated that distribution of meters for consumers was part of measures to solve the nations's power challenges.

He said: “Besides, the excuse of consumers being too poor to afford electricity tariffs does not really hold water, and this can be confirmed if they are provided with meters to save them from the widespread arbitrariness of estimated billing.”
