Darkness as national grid collapses again
The national grid again on Wednesday collapsed throwing Nigerians into blackout.
“Please be informed that the power outage currently being experienced is due to a loss of supply from the national grid at 11:23 hrs today, affecting electricity supply across our franchise areas,” Abuja Electric Distribution Plc, disclosed in a statement.
The company however assured that work was ongoing with relevant stakeholders to restore power after stabilising the grid.
Also in a post on X, the National Grid said the load as of 12:25 p.m. by Abuja DisCo was 20 MW, Benin DisCo was 10 MW, Eko DisCo was 0 MW, Enugu DisCo was 0 MW, Ibadan DisCo was 20 MW, Ikeja DisCo was 0 MW, Jos DisCo was 0 MW, Kaduna DisCo was 0 MW, Kano DisCo was 0 MW, Port Harcourt DisCo was 0 MW and Yola DisCo was 0 MW.
