Citi Business News<\/strong> his outfit is working on restoring power soon.<\/p>\n\u201cAs at 6am, we had restored at least 30 percent of the country; as we speak, we have restored yet another twenty percent of the country so about half of the country is on now. We are working on the restoration hoping to end it in two or three hours,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
Mr. Amuna could however not readily explain the direct cause of the outage.<\/p>\n
He however indicated that the fault could have been triggered by lightening during the rainstorm in parts of the country on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
According to him, restoration has been ongoing and he is hopeful of meeting consumers\u2019 needs.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were able to restore power around 1 am; we were almost through and there was a swing in the power system again and we lost some generation again and then lost many parts of the country in terms of power supply, we have been going through a restoration process.\u201d<\/p>\n
No system failure<\/strong><\/p>\nA similar nationwide outage occurred in January 2016.<\/p>\n
At the time, GRIDCo attributed the situation to system failure.<\/p>\n
But the CEO has ruled out any system failure this time round.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can assure you that there is no problem with any generator in the system. All the generators are intact and we are just calling on them as and when we pick load,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile he says there is enough fuel to supply the power plants.<\/p>\n
