Nigeria’s national grid has collapsed yet again for the second time in three days.
This has led to blackouts in several parts of the country.
According to the Nigerian System Operator’s portal (niggrid.org), power generation dropped to zero megawatts at 11:30 a.m., affecting generation companies across the country.
Some electricity distribution companies corroborated this on their social media platforms.
“Please be informed that we experienced a system outage today 07 November 2024 at 11:29 Hrs affecting supply within our network,”
“Restoration of supply is ongoing in collaboration with our critical stakeholders.
Kindly bear with us.” The Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) serving parts of Lagos wrote on X.
The Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDP) also informed its customers of the “potential system failure”.
“Kindly be informed that at precisely 11.29 hours today, 7th November 2024, we experienced a simultaneous loss of supply across our network,” IEKEDP said.
“A potential system failure or collapse is suspected. We are currently working with our partners as we hope for speedy restoration of the grid.”
Remember that several parts of Nigeria were thrown into blackouts on Tuesday when the national grid received “setback”. It is blackout for Nigerians in the same week again.
