The national grid system, operated by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), collapsed in the early hours of Thursday, throwing the entire country into blackout.

LEADERSHIP checks on the national grid performance showed power generation dropped to a meagre 48.50 megawatts at 7.00am on Thursday, coming from two out of the over 27 electricity generation plants.

This comes barely a week after TCN had rolled out the drum to celebrate a questionable 400 days of uninterrupted grid stability.

A number of Distribution Companies confirmed that the national grid went down at 00:41am, disclosing that most of their feeders were out.

As of 7:00am on Thursday, two generating plants were on the grid – Afam VI had 1.60MW while Ibom Power had 46.90MW. All other companies on the grid had zero generation.

The TCN was yet to respond to inquiries by LEADERSHIP about the national grid collapse as at 9am on Thursday.
