Our reporter/ The national grid on Thursday suffered a fresh total system collapse.
The collapse is coming few weeks after the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) celebrated over one year of zero grid collapse, a feature that has characterised the Nigerian power sector.
Electricity distribution companies (DisCos), in different notices to customers, said the national grid collapsed at about 12.40 am today.
According to a statement by the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC), the collapse occurred around 12:40am which has resulted to the loss of supply currently being experienced across the network.
“Due to this development, all our interface TCN stations are out of supply, and we are unable to provide service to our customers in Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo States.”
Ndidi Mbah, spokesperson for the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), also confirmed the development onThursday morning.
“It is a system collapse, but we are trying to restore it,” she said.
This is the first time of witnessing the situation under the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu but there were multiple incidents of grid collapse under former President Muhammadu Buhari.
