The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), yesterday, recorded its second electricity system collapse in 2024.
The incident scuttled the distribution of electricity by the
electricity distribution companies, DisCos, to all parts of the nation.
In a notice to its customers, the management of Eko
Electricity Distribution Company, EKEDC, stated: “Kindly be informed there was
a system collapse at 16.28 hours, which has resulted in a loss of power supply
across our network.
“We are currently working with our partners as we hope for
speedy restoration of the grid. We will keep you updated as soon as the power
supply is restored.”
Checks by Vanguard, yesterday, showed that there was no
power supply in many parts of the nation, a development that compelled many
businesses and households to generate their independent power at higher costs.
However, the spokesperson of the Transmission Company of
Nigeria, Mrs. Ndidi Mba, who confirmed the development in a telephone interview
with Vanguard, said: “There was a system collapse. But we have commenced
recovery and have restored supply in Benin, Abuja and some other parts of the
nation.”
In 2023, Nigerians experienced at least three nationwide
blackouts on September 14, 19 and December 11.
