The national power grid has collapsed for the second time in less than a month, worsening the blackout being experienced by households and businesses in parts of Nigeria.
The collapse, which occurred around 1:00pm on Monday, was confirmed by two of the electricity distribution companies in the country.
The grid had on July 28, 2021 suffered a total collapse, which the Transmission Company of Nigeria attributed to the loss of 611 megawatts at two power stations.
Eko Electricity Distribution Company, in a message to its customers on its Facebook page, said, โWe regret to inform you of a system collapse on the national grid thatโs causing outages across our network.
โWe are working with our TCN partners to restore supply as soon as possible. Please bear with us.โ
Kaduna Electric said, โWe sincerely apologise for the power outage in our franchise states which is due to a system collapse from the national grid. Supply shall be restored as soon as the grid is back up.
โWe regret any inconvenience this may cause all our customers.โ
