The Nigeria’s Transmission System also known as national power grid, siffered another collapse on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, marking the ninth time that the residents of the country have been plunged into total darkness.
According to data from the Nigerian System Operator’s portal (niggrid.org), power generation dropped to an unprecedented zero megawatts from 2:00 pm, affecting all 22 operational generation companies (GenCos) nationwide.
This latest blackout is another blow to Nigeria’s struggling power sector, which has been plagued by instability, insufficient capacity, and frequent grid disturbances.
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) is yet to release an official statement confirming the cause or the anticipated resolution time, leaving the public and stakeholders in the dark.
