There is a widespread blackout across the country following the total collapse of Nigeria’s electricity grid early Thursday morning.
It was gathered that the grid collapsed totally around 12:40
a.m. on September 14, 2023, leading to the massive loss of supply to power
distributors nationwide.
Multiple sources in the power sector, as well as electricity
distribution companies, confirmed the development to our correspondent on
Thursday morning.
The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company Plc issued a
notice titled, ‘Notice of Total System Collapse’ on Thursday.
In the notice, it said, “The EEDC wishes to inform her
esteemed customers of a total system collapse which occurred at 12:40 am today,
September 14, 2023.
“This has resulted in the loss of supply currently being
experienced across the network. Due to this development, all our interface TCN
(Transmission Company of Nigeria) stations are out of supply, and we are unable
to provide service to our customers in Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo
states.
“We are on standby awaiting detailed information of the
collapse and restoration of supply from the National Control Centre, Osogbo.”
The notice was signed by the Head, of Corporate
Communications, EEDC, Emeka Ezeh.
The TCN, which manages Nigeria’s grid, has yet to make any
statement about the development.
About a week ago, the transmission firm celebrated what it
described as 400 days of power grid stability in Nigeria, as it claimed that
the grid witnessed no collapse all through the 400 days.
