*Pix above: National grid
Nigerians have been thrown into darkness as the national power grid collapsed again for the fourth time in 2024.
A check on the website of Independent System Operator, an autonomous arm of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) indicated that power plants’ contribution to the grid began to decline at about 2pm to 2,797.16MW from the average 3,417.99MW around 1am.
The electricity contribution further declined to 1,020.08 at about 3pm before dramatically falling to 0.80 by 4pm.
The remaining 0.80 was generated by the Trans-Amadi Power plant.
This is the fourth power grid collapse in 2024.
The electricity grid, on February 4, collapsed for the first time in 2024. Also, it collapsed again on March 28.
Nigerians were thrown into yet darkness for the third time in 2024 after the grid collapsed on April 15. And now this.{agency}###
