A fire outbreak occurred at the Birnin Kebbi 330KV Power Station in Nigeria’s Northwest, a critical component of the regional grid, on Thursday night.
This incident follows a recent nationwide blackout triggered by a fire outbreak and explosion sound observed on the Kainji/Jebba 330kV line 2 (Cct K2J), impacting the blue phase CVT and the blue phase line isolator of Kainji/Jebba 330kV line 1, which was observed burning.
As a consequence, there were sharp drops in frequency, with levels decreasing from 50.29Hz to 49.67Hz at 0:35:06Hrs.
