Blackout Looms As National Grid Collapses Again by chokekachy: 6:59am On Sep 14, 2023
Nigeria has again been thrown into darkness after the national grid system, operated by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) from Osogbo in Osun State collapsed.

A check by The Guardian in the early hour of today showed that the grid plummeted to a meagre 273 megawatts of electricity coming from two out of the over 27 electricity generation.

This comes barely a week after TCN, rolled out the drum to celebrate a questionable 400 days of grid stability.

A number of Distribution Companies confirmed to The Guardian that the grid went down at 00:41 AM, disclosing that most of their feeders are out.

As of 4:00 a.m. on Thursday, five generating plants were on the grid. Afam VI had 0.70MW, Dadinkowa was generating 0.00MW, Ibom Power had 32.90MW, Jebba had 240MW and Olorunsogo was on the grid with zero generation.

At about 1AM midnight, the total power on the grid was 35MW, indicating that the country experienced a total collapse.

The grid went to 193MW at about 3AM before climbing to 273MW when this report was filed.

The TCN has not responded to inquiries by our correspondent about the development.

We've even experience the first phase, let get ready for the second one.

And we have been in black out since last week Thursday, it was yesterday that the electricity board said let there be light before we had a semblance of light at the end of the tunnel.

Grid collapse or not, it doesn’t make any difference, virtually everyday the situation remains the same; power failure every now and then

Who does that in Naija?!! grin

Even if you have steady light, never take such chances...!

Electricity in Nigeria fit off without reason... In a blink of an eye.

I remember how a foreign client of mine couldn't understand what I meant by Power outage... He was wondering if there was a hurricane, earthquake or tsunami. embarassed undecided

Naija matter dey shame person abeg... Imagine the nonsense we still hear coupled with all the sufferings already on ground.
