The national grid has suffered another setback, according to the official handle of the Nigeria National Grid’s on X.
The development comes after the grid collapsed three times in one week towards the end of last month.
The latest development brings grid disturbance incidences to nine in 2024 alone.
“BREAKING: National Grid suffers another setback. Restoration soon!“, @NationalGridNg tweeted around 3 PM on Tuesday.
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) had yet to confirm the incident at the time of this report, leaving Nigerians in the dark as to the reason behind this round of blackout.
On February 4, Nigeria experienced its first blackout of 2024 when the national grid collapsed at approximately 11:51 AM. The TCN-managed grid saw its capacity plummet from 2,407 megawatts to just 31MW by noon, and it completely shut down by 1 PM.
