Power supply in Nigeria was again dusrupted on Monday as the national grid collapsed.
According to data obtained from the Nigerian Independent System Operator (NISO), the power generation dropped from 2,052.37 megawatts to 139.92MW between 2pm and 3pm.
Also out of 11 electricity distribution companies (DisCos), NISO said only three are able to load 120MW.
Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) accounted for 80MW, while Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) took 20MW during the period, and Benin DisCo received 20MW
All other distribution companies, including Benin, Eko, Enugu, Ikeja, Jos, Kaduna, Kano, Port Harcourt and Yola, recorded zero allocation.
The latest grid collapse adds to the pertinent question of the fragility of the Nigerian National Grid.
