The national electricity grid suffered a fresh system
collapse on Monday, plunging the country into darkness.
Major electricity distribution companies (DisCos), in
different notices to customers, said the national grid collapsed at about 11
am.
Emeka Ezeh, head, corporate communications, Enugu Electricity Distribution Company PLC (EEDC), said the system collapse led to the loss of supply across the country.
“The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company PLC (EEDC)
wishes to inform her esteemed customers of a system collapse which occurred at
10:51 am today, 26th September 2022. This has resulted in the loss of supply
currently being experienced across the network,” the statement reads.
“Due to this
development, all our interface TCN stations are out of supply, and we are
unable to provide service 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 (NCC),
Osogbo.”
Benin Electricity Distribution Company EPlc (BEDC) also
confirmed the development.
“The Management of
BEDC Electricity Plc (BEDC) regrets to notify its customers within its
franchise states of Delta, Edo, Ekiti and Ondo of a system collapse which
occurred today, 26th September 2022 at 10:51hrs,” the statement reads.
“As a result of this development, all our feeders are out of
supply and this has caused disruption of power supply to our esteemed customers
across these coverage areas.
“We plead for your kind understanding over the situation and
assure that supply will be normalised in due course immediately the system is
restored.”
The national grid has collapsed eight times in 2022 — the
last incident in July. It collapsed once in June and twice in March and April
2022.
