The national grid recorded another collapse on Tuesday, plunging the country into another blackout.

The incident happened around 2:09 pm, according to a post on the official X handle of the National Nigeria Grid.

This marks the eighth grid collapse this year and the first in November.

TCN spokesperson Ndidi Mbah said, “This followed a series of line and generator trippings that caused instability in the grid and, consequently, the partial disturbance of the system.”

She added that data from the National Control Centre revealed that a part of the grid was not affected by the bulk power disruption.

“TCN engineers are already working to quickly restore bulk power supply to the states affected by the partial disturbance. Presently, bulk power supply has been restored to Abuja at 2:49 pm, and we are gradually restoring it to other parts of the country.

“We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause our electricity customers,” she said.
