The national power grid collapsed again on Tuesday.
This was confirmed by the Transmission Company of Nigeria in a statement on Tuesday.
It said, “The national grid experienced a partial disturbance at about 1:52 pm today, 5th November 2024.”
TCN spokesperson Ndidi Mbah said, “This followed a series of line and generator trippings that caused instability in the grid and, consequently, the partial disturbance of the system.”
As of 1 pm, power generation was 2,711 megawatts, having previously peaked at 3,631 MW.
Earlier, power generation peaked at 3,934.77 MW around six o’clock Tuesday morning.
Ms Mbah said that data from the National Control Centre revealed that a part of the grid was not affected by the bulk power disruption.
“TCN engineers are already working to quickly restore bulk power supply to the states affected by the partial disturbance. Presently, bulk power supply has been restored to Abuja at 2:49 pm, and we are gradually restoring it to other parts of the country.
“We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause our electricity customers,” she said.
