National Grid Collapses Again
Nigerians have been plunged into darkness again as the nation’s power grid experienced yet another collapse for the fifth time this year.
The data obtained from the Nigerian System Operator’s portal (niggrid.org), revealed that grid collapse in the early hours of Monday.
The grid recorded an unprecedented zero Megawatts (MW) at the time and is currently generating a meagre 52.3MW around 7:10 am the same day.
The consequences of this blackout were felt nationwide, as electricity distribution companies (DisCos) struggled to cope with the sudden and prolonged outage. Many parts of the country have been plunged into darkness for over five hours as the grid is yet to come into full recovery.
This collapse marks the fifth grid disturbance in 2024, adding to challenges that have long plagued Nigeria’s power sector. In a year already marred by disruptions, this latest incident stands out as the most severe, exacerbating the ongoing struggles consumers and industry stakeholders face.
