The national power grid has collapsed again, plunging many Nigerians into darkness.
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) attributed the incident to a series of disruptions in power lines and generators, which led to instability across the grid.
According to information from the National Control Centre, portions of the grid remained unaffected, although the outage affected many regions nationwide.
TCN assured that work is ongoing to restore power progressively to other regions.
The Transmission Company of Nigeria confirmed that “the national grid experienced a partial disturbance at about 1:52 pm today, 5th November 2024.”
TCN spokesperson Ndidi Mbah said,
“This followed a series of line and generator trippings that caused instability in the grid and, consequently, the partial disturbance of the system.”
She stated that data from the National Control Centre revealed that a part of the grid was not affected by the bulk power disruption.
“TCN engineers are already working to quickly restore bulk power supply to the states affected by the partial disturbance. Presently, bulk power supply has been restored to Abuja at 2:49 pm, and we are gradually restoring it to other parts of the country.
“We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause our electricity customers,” she said.
