Blackout in Lagos as flood submerges transmission substations
Some parts of Lagos State have been plunged into blackout following the unfortunate flooding in the state.
The Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, in a statement issued on Wednesday by its Public Affairs General Manager, Ndidi Mbah declared “force majeure on the Oworoshoki 33KV and Lekki 330/132KV Transmission Substations as a result of flooding caused by continuous rain fall in Lagos”.
TCN lamented that the Oworoshoki 133/33KV Transmission Substation is totally out of service, stating that the flood affected two power transformers.
“Although Lekki 330/132KV Transmission Substation is in service as water is continuously being pumped out of the station, Oworoshoki 133/33KV Transmission Substation on the other hand is currently not in service as the level of water has affected two power transformers TR1 – 60 MVA and TR3 – 30 MVA that tripped on no load even after attempted restoration.
“Presently, all power protection and control cable of the two power transformers are submerged inside water and efforts to evacuate the water has proved ineffective as the rain continues to fall”, TCN lamented.
The company, however assured that normalcy may soon be restored, saying efforts are ongoing to evacuate the water.
“Our engineers are working, doing everything possible to evacuate the flood to enable them to test the transformers for restoration.
“TCN regrets every inconvenience this might cause Eco Disco’s customers taking supply from the substations”, the statement added.
