Nigeria’s national grid reportedly collapsed once more on Tuesday when power generation crashed from a peak of three thousand five hundred and ninety-four point six-zero megawatts at midnight to an alarming low of forty-two point seven megawatts by midday.
It was however gathered that at noon on Tuesday, only the Delta Power plant was operational on the grid, contributing forty-one megawatts, while Afam generated one point seven megawatts.
The incident, according to the Punch, is linked to infrastructure limitations, challenges in gas supply, and constraints within the transmission system that impacted the commercial hub of Lagos, where power supply was lost at 11:32 am.
Meanwhile, the Transmission Company of Nigeria, as at the time of filing the report, is yet to issue a statement explaining the cause of this latest collapse.
The recent event marks the third grid collapse in less than a month, following two incidents a few days ago, which left the nation in total darkness for extended periods.
