Nationwide blackout as national grid collapses again

Nigeria’s national grid went down to zero megawatts (MW) at about 10:51am on Monday, shutting down electricity nationwide.

This is coming after a few weeks of a noticeable power improvement in the country.

The national electricity grid as of 10am on Monday had 3,712MW generated from 21 Generation Companies (GenCos) but it later dropped to 0MW one hour after.

According to the information from the System Operations, a section of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), only Afam IV was on the grid but with zero supply as at 12noon.

As of Sunday, the highest generation was 4,100MW while the lowest was 3,652MW with the frequency hovering between 49.04 Hertz (Hz) and 50.34Hz.

Since July 1 this year, consumers said power supply had increased in their various areas.
