The National Grid has collapsed for the second time in three days, leading to blackouts in several parts of the country.
A check on the Nigerian System Operator’s portal (niggrid.org), showed that power generation dropped to zero megawatts at 11:30 a.m., affecting all 22 generation companies across the country.
Several electricity distribution companies corroborated this on their social media platforms.
The Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company (IKEDC) confirmed the latest collapse in a message to customers.
The DISCO said: “Please be informed that we experienced a system outage today, 07 November 2024, at 11:29 hiours, affecting supply within our network.”
IKEDC assured customers that efforts to restore power are underway in collaboration with key stakeholders, though no timeline was provided.
“Restoration of supply is ongoing. Kindly bear with us,” the company added.
However, the Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, has not issued an official statement on the reason the grid collapsed on Thursday.
