JUST IN: National power grid collapses again.
The national power grid has collapsed again on Tuesday 5th November, 2024, around 1:39 pm.
As of 1 pm today, power generation fell to 2,711 megawatts, having previously peaked at 3,631 MW.
Earlier that day, power generation was at a 3,934.77 MW peak around six o’clock in the morning. However, between 2 pm and 3 pm, hourly generation dropped to 0.00 MW.
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) confirmed that “the national grid experienced a partial disturbance at about 1:52 pm today, 5th November 2024.”
Spokesperson to the Transmission Company of Nigeria, 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 also 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.
