Nigeria has again thrown into darkness as national grid collapsed at around 12:23 pm on Wednesday.
Electricity from the generation companies was abysmally low of 40MW against 3,000MW generated previous day.
Allocations to the 10 electricity distribution companies were zero, except 40MW and 10MW to Abuja and Ibadan Discos respectively at 12:23 pm as at the time of incident.
The cause of the sudden collapse of national grid is yet to be ascertained but an official of Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), who spoke to ENERGY TIMES, said the management has commenced investigation.
