National Grid Collapse.

Dear Esteemed Customers,

We regret to inform you that the power outage currently being experienced across our franchise- Kaduna, Sokoto, Kebbi and Zamfara states- is as a result of the collapse of the national grid.
@GovKaduna @KBStGovt @Zamfara_state

The collapse occured at about 11:01 am this morning.

Power supply shall be restored across our franchise as soon as the grid is restored by the Transmission Company of Nigeria team.

We sincerely apologise for all inconveniences being suffered.

Signed

Our apologies for the state of supply to your area. We are currently experiencing a grid outage which has affected supply to our franchise area. Normal supply will be restored as soon as we receive more allocation from the national grid. We regret the inconvenience caused.

grin

Funny thing, Birnin Kebbi, Aliero and Argungu enjoy 12-16hours uninterrupted power supply daily.

I'm wondering how folks over there will cope with this miracle
Re: The National Electricity Grid Has Experienced A System Collapse. by Nobody: 12:52pm On May 12, 2021
The problem is

1.The grid is out of date and needs fixing

2.The Trnasmission company of Nigeria is dependent on funds raised by the DISCOS for fixing the grid

3.However, due to the fact that power in Nigeria has been charged at a price below its cost of production, there isn't enough money to fix the grid...and it needs tens of billions of dollars to fix.

4.The way forward is for every house to be metered, and power to be deregulated. Let the DISCOS charge as high as 100 naira per kwh (okay, that's too much tho)...so that they can earn a profit that can be ploughed into fxing the grid and also power generation.

Nigerians should read the PWC report on funding on power in Nigeria. For those who cannot read long story, the summary page is below.


Remeber the GSM....we paid high prices for GSM. We paid as high as 10000 naira for SIM cards alone...if not higher. They earned insane profits...and used those profits to build up our GSM network that provides the basis of our strong IT and telecoms sector.

Let power be deregulated. Then there would be no more system collapse.

Everything in this country has collapsed and that's an indication on how terrible it is to place a Fulani man in charge of anything at all. Since the Fulani started heading everything in the country, everything has collapsed.

Nigeria doesn't sound like a country, it just sounds like the name of an abortion pills

The national grid is a mirror of the government in power and it's grip on all sectors of the country.

Pathetic. Instead of allowing every region to produce it's own electricity everyone is being forced to partake in the horse manure that is the national grid.
