The National Power Grid has collapsed once again, throwing several parts of the country into darkness and disrupting electricity supply to millions of households and businesses.
Checks by our correspondent revealed that power generation dropped sharply from over 4,500 megawatts to as low as 24 megawatts as of 1:30 pm.
It was gathered that all 23 power generation plants connected to the national grid were affected by the incident, resulting in zero power allocation to the 11 electricity distribution companies nationwide.
As at the time of filing this report, the cause of the latest grid collapse had not been immediately determined, while officials of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) were yet to issue a detailed statement on the development.
