Power Outage As National Grid Collapses by Shellsploit: 4:32pm On May 12, 2021
The national electricity grid suffered a system collapse on Wednesday, leading to power outage across the country.

Ndidi Mbah, spokesperson of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), said there is ongoing effort to fully restore electricity on the grid.

“The Transmission Company of Nigeria hereby states that at about 11.01 am today, 12th of May, 2021, there was a total system collapse of the grid, as a result of voltage collapse at some parts of the grid,” Mbah said.

TCN commenced grid recovery immediately after the collapse, from Shiroro Generating Station to Katampe TS, Abuja through the Shiroro – Katampe line at 11:29 am, and also through Delta Generating Station to Benin Transmission Substation and has reached Osogbo and parts of Lagos.

While the grid restoration and power restoration gradually progress to other parts of the country, the cause of voltage collapse that precipitated this failure is equally being investigated.

“TCN appeals for patience as it works assiduously to ensure full restoration of the grid and consequently power supply to the remaining parts of the country.”

Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) has sent a message of the grid collapse to its customers.

Dear customer, there is a partial system collapse on the National Grid. Our TCN partners are working to restore supply immediately. Please bear with us,” the message reads.

Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company (KEDC) has also announced that there will be power outage in Sokoto, Kebbi, Zamfara and Kaduna states as a result of the grid collapse.

Abdulazeez Abdullahi, spokesperson of the KEDC, released a statement to this effect.

“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,” he said.


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

I suspect Boko boys are behind the national grid collapse this time around.

Boko boys seems to be testing microphone in North Central seriously this time around, Buhari better wake up from slumber
