Eko Hot Blog reports that Nigeria’s electricity grid has once again thrown the country into darkness as the government operated system went down Monday afternoon.
The system collapsed at about 1pm cutting down electricity from 4,032.80 megawatts at about 12pm to 43 megawatts at 1pm and a meagre 303 megawatts at about 5:00 pm.
Most DisCos confirmed that their feeders are out even as the over 22 electricity plants on the grid were all reading zero megawatts as of 5pm going by the data available on the Transmission Company of Nigeria’s System Network.
This latest development comes just four months after the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) blasted the drum to commemorate 400 days of grid stability.

The national grid, one of the most embarrassing entities of the power sector has failed many times this year alone even as the grid has collapsed for about 138 times in the last one decade.
