The national electricity grid experienced another collapse on Tuesday morning, following a similar failure on Monday evening.
On Monday, the grid went down around 6:18 p.m., leaving many areas in darkness.
Reports indicated that power generation fell from 3.87 gigawatts at 5 p.m. to 3.56 GW by 6 p.m., ultimately dropping to 0.00 GW by 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. Various power distribution companies verified this situation.
On Tuesday, the grid collapsed again at 9:17 a.m., with grid supply plummeting to 0.00 MW across all regions by 10 a.m., resulting in a nationwide blackout.
This incident marks the second grid failure in less than 24 hours, raising significant concerns about the reliability of the country’s electricity supply.
The Eko Electricity Distribution Company confirmed the system collapse, leading to a total loss of power.
“Dear Valued Customer, kindly be informed that there was a system collapse at 09:17hrs, which has resulted in a loss of power supply across our network.
“We are currently working with our partners and hope for a speedy restoration of the grid. We will keep you updated as soon as the power supply is restored,” the company stated.
