The national grid on Wednesday experienced another system collapse, throwing many Nigerians into darkness.
The country’s power grid lost power generation some minutes after 11am on Wednesday.
It was learnt that there was a trip-off and the power went out before noon, causing some of the power plants on the grid to lose generation.
At 11 am, hourly power generation was 4064 megawatts but this dropped to 1,203MW at 12 pm and 0.00MW at 1 pm.
The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) confirmed the development on its X handle on Wednesday.
“Dear Valued Customer, We regret to inform you that a system disturbance occurred on the national grid at 11:34 am today causing a power outage across our franchise areas.
“While gradual restoration of power supply has commenced, please be assured that we are working closely with relevant stakeholders to fully restore electricity as soon as the grid is stabilised. Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work to serve you better,” the post read.
