Nigeria Thrown into Darkness as National Grid Collapses Again

The Nigeria’s power grid has collapsed again, according to Didactic Information Hut.

The power grid collapsed at around 6:18 p.m. Monday, leaving Nigerians in the dark.

It was confirmed that power generation dropped from 3.87 gigawatts at 5 pm to 3.56 GW at 6 pm and 0.00 GW at 7 pm and 8 pm.

Enugu Electricity Distribution Company confirmed the grid collapse in a statement Monday evening.

The EEDC informed its customers “of a general system collapse that occurred at 18:48 hours today, 14th October 2024,” saying this has resulted in the loss of supply currently being experienced across the EEDC network.

“Consequently, due to this development, all our interface TCN stations are out of supply, and we are unable to provide services to our customers in Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo States.

“We are on standby awaiting detailed information of the collapse and restoration of supply from the National Control Centre (NCC), Osogbo,” the EEDC stated in the statement signed by the Head of Corporate Communications, Emeka Ezeh.

Similarly, the Abuja Disco said, “Dear Valued Customer, please be informed that the power outage being experienced is due to a system failure from the national grid at 6:58 pm today, affecting the power supply to our franchise areas.

“Rest assured, we are working with the relevant stakeholders to restore power as soon as the grid is stabilised. Thank you for your understanding.”
