National Grid Collapses Second Time In One Week

Nigeria plunged into darkness yet again as the country’s national grid collapses for the second time this week.


The bulk power supply was disrupted around 11:20 am on Thursday, November 7, 2024.

This is the second time the grid has collapsed this week and the eleventh time in the last eleven months.


Confirming the grid collapse, Abuja Electricity Distribution Company wrote;

“Dear Esteemed Customer, the current outage is as a result of a system collapse of the National Grid.”

“The power system stakeholders are working to restore supply as soon as possible. Please bear with us.”


More so, the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), has not issued an official statement on the reason the grid collapsed again on Thursday.


Meanwhile, recall that the TCN on Tuesday had blamed the grid collapse on lines and generator trippings.


This comes as the Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu on Wednesday received an investigative report on the incessant grid collapse in Nigeria. More Details has not yet been given to the public concerning the cause for the frequent blackouts yet again.
