The national grid has collapsed for the second time in three days, leading to blackouts in several parts of the country.
A check on the Nigerian System Operator’s portal (niggrid.org), showed that power generation dropped to zero megawatts at 11:30 a.m., affecting all 22 generation companies across the country.
Several electricity distribution companies corroborated this on their social media platforms.
“Please be informed that we experienced a system outage today 07 November 2024 at 11:29Hrs affecting supply within our network,” the Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) serving parts of Lagos wrote on X.
“Restoration of supply is ongoing in collaboration with our critical stakeholders.
Kindly bear with us.”
