Nigerians have been thrown into darkness as the National Power Grid being operated by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) collapsed on Saturday.
A check on the website of the Independent System Operator, shows that the grid collapsed around 3:10 pm.
Although TCN is yet to speak on the matter, the Management of Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) has alerted its customers on the development.
In a Public Notice on Saturday, AEDC Said, “Dear Valued Customers, Please be informed that the power outage being experienced is due to a system failure from the national grid at 3:10pm today, affecting the power supply to our franchise areas.
“Rest assured, we are working with the relevant stakeholders to restore power as soon as the grid is stabilized. Thank you for your understanding”.
Also, a statement by the Head of Corporate Communications of the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) Emeka Ezeh, said, “EEDC wishes to inform its esteemed customers of a general system collapse which occurred at 15:09 hours today, 6th July 2024. This has resulted in the loss of supply currently being experienced across the network.
“Due to this development, all our interface TCN stations are out of supply, and we are unable to provide services to our customers in Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo States.
“We are on standby awaiting detailed information of the collapse and restoration of supply from the National Control Centre, Osogbo,” the statement said.
