The national power grid has suffered another system collapse, worsening the blackout being experienced by households and businesses in parts of Nigeria.
Eko Electricity Distribution Company, in a text message to its customers, said, “Dear customer, the present outage is due to a system collapse on the National Grid. TCN assures us that supply will be restored shortly.” “However, the grid controllers have assured that efforts towards restoring supply is in progress, promising speedy reconnection of Kano and other locations to the grid, as soon as the fault is rectified.”The grid, which is being managed by government-owned Transmission Company of Nigeria, has continued to suffer system collapse over the years amid a lack of spinning reserve that is meant to forestall such occurrences.
According to the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, a total system collapse means total blackout nationwide, while partial system collapse is a failure of a section of the grid.
