The nation’s electricity grid, on Monday, collapsed at about 10:51 am, causing a nationwide blackout.
This is coming over three months after the last national system collapses recorded in July
2022.
Generation data obtained from the system operator showed that power generation, which was put at 3714MWs as of 6 am on Monday, dropped to zero as of 11 am the same day.
The Abuja Electricity Distribution Plc (AEDC) in a notice to its customer also confirmed the development saying: “Please be informed that the current power outage is due to a system failure from the National Grid. The system collapsed at about 10:55 am today, September 26, 2022, causing the outage currently being experienced.
“We appeal for your understanding as all stakeholders are working hard to restore normal supply.”
The national grid had collapsed twice, in July but was quickly restored and sustained until the latest development.
However, the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has yet to establish the cause of the incident.
