Barely a week after Nigerians were plunged into darkness, the national electricity grid has collapsed once more.
A peak of 3,594.60 megawatts (MW) was reached at around one in the morning on Tuesday, according to the Guardian, but as of the time this report was being written, only 42.7MW were being produced.
As of noon, only Delta Power Plant had 41.00MW of active power on the grid, compared to 1.7MW for Afam.
This occurs just five days after the grid experienced two collapses within a span of more than 12 hours, leaving the entire country in complete darkness.
Recall that on that Thursday, a national blackout occurred in Nigeria as a result of the failure of the national grid, which was run by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) from Osogbo in Osun State. The electricity supply was restored in that country hours after the blackout.
The national grid collapsed early on last Thursday, according to claims made by Nigeria’s Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, a few days prior to this incident, at Kainji/Jebba 330kV.
Assuring that everyone is working together to ensure a prompt restoration of power, the minister revealed this in a series of tweets on the X platform.
