Checks in the early hour of Thursday showed that the grid plummeted to a meagre 273 megawatts of electricity coming from two out of the over 27 electricity generation.

This comes barely a week after TCN celebrated a questionable 400 days of grid stability.

A number of Distribution Companies (DisCos) told Guardian that the grid went down at 00:41 AM, disclosing that most of their feeders are out.
