It said the shutdown occurred at 3:01p.m. on Wednesday after several 330kV transmission lines and 33 Kilo Volt (kV) feeder-lines across the power system network had been switched off by the electricity workers.
A statement by the TCN’s General Manager, Public Affairs, Mrs Ndidi Mbah in Abuja, said effort was being made to resolve the issues upon which the action was called.
Electricity workers, under the auspices of National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) and the Senior Staff Association of Electricity and Allied Companies (SSAEAC) began work on Wednesday.
“This resulted in generation-load imbalance and multiple voltage escalations at critical stations and substations,” TCN said.
The spokesperson said that the Ministries of Power and Labour & Employment were currently meeting with the union officials in order to resolve the issues.
