National power grid collapses again

On Tuesday, the national electricity grid seemed to have fallen apart once more.

Our correspondent’s checks verified that the system ceased electricity generation at about 1:39 p.m.

Power generation peaked at 3,631 MW, but as of 1 pm, it was 2,711 MW.

Around six in the morning, power generation reached its highest point at 3,934.77 MW.

However, hourly generation decreased to 0.00 MW between 2 and 3 p.m.

The Transmission Company of Nigeria confirmed that “the national grid experienced a partial disturbance at about 1:52 pm today, 5th November 2024.”

TCN spokesperson Ndidi Mbah said, “This followed a series of line and generator trippings that caused instability in the grid and, consequently, the partial disturbance of the system.”

She stated that data from the National Control Centre revealed that a part of the grid was not affected by the bulk power disruption.

“TCN engineers are already working to quickly restore bulk power supply to the states affected by the partial disturbance. Presently, bulk power supply has been restored to Abuja at 2:49 pm, and we are gradually restoring it to other parts of the country.

“We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause our electricity customers,” she said.
