NATIONAL GRID FAILS AGAIN: Second Blackout In Two Days Affects Millions 

 

By People’s Voice Nigeria | News

 

For the second time in less than 48 hours, the national grid has collapsed again, plunging the country into another round of darkness.

 

The system glitch, which happened around 11:28am on Thursday, is the second this week and 10th incident in 2024.

 

A check on Independent System Operator, an autonomous arm of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) showed only 3.7 megawatts of electricity was on the grid by 12 noon this Thursday.

 

The ISO’s website showed the generation plants produced an average of 2,709.45 megawatts of electricity around 11am.

 

As of the time of filing this report, TCN was yet to state the reason for the latest grid collapse.

 

Confirming the development, Jos Electricity Distribution Company stated that the current outage being experienced within its franchise was a result of loss of power supply from the national grid.

 

“The loss of power supply from the national grid occurred this morning at about 11:28 hours of today, Thursday, 7th November 2024, hence the loss of power supply on all our feeders.

 

“We hope to restore normal power supply to our esteemed customers as soon as the grid supply is restored back to normalcy,” JEDC stated
