National Grid collapses again

The National grid has suffered yet another collapse, plunging the country into another round of darkness.

The grid suffered multiple collapse in the month of October, with the Federal Government promising a permanent solution to the embarrassment.

As of 2:35pm, hourly generation readings showed that none of the the Power Generation Company had a single megawatt.

On Saturday, October 19, 2024, the national power grid suffered a major setback,  marking the eighth grid failure in 2024, with three occurring within one week.

Two days later, the grid failed again. The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) had blamed the development on blamed on a fire outbreak at the Jebba transmission station.

TCN had said the nation recorded 105 cases of grid collapse.

Adebayo Adelabu, Minister of Power, blamed outdated infrastructure for the incessant collapse of the national grid.

The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) had decried the escalating incidence of grid disturbances often leading to marked outage in several states thus reversing many of the gains recently achieved in reducing infrastructure deficit and improving grid stability.

TCN is yet to state the reason for the current collapse.
