Fresh National Grid Collapse Plunge Nigeria Into Darkness

Again, Nigeria has recorded another National grid collapse, plunging the nation into another round of darkness.

The incident that occurred at approximately 11:28 AM on Thursday marks the second collapse this week and the tenth recorded in 2024.

It is worth noting that the national grid is collapsing just two days following the previous incident.

An examination of the Independent System Operator, which operates independently under the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), revealed that all power plants linked to the grid were not generating any electricity around noon.

Data from the ISO’s website indicated that the generation plants produced an average of 2,323 megawatts of electricity at 11 AM, but the output dropped to 0.00 MW by 12 PM.

At the time of this report, TCN has not provided an explanation for the collapse.

However, in a confirmation of the situation, Jos Disco indicated that the ongoing outage within its service area is due to the loss of power supply from the national grid.
