The megawatt (MW) generated dropped from 2,917.83 (MW) to 1.5 (MW) between 11 am and 12 pm on Wednesday.
Shortly after the collapse, the Nigeria National Grid, an X handle that provides updates on Electric power distribution announced that “System restoration is in progress.”
According to AEDC, the power outage currently experienced was due to a loss of supply from the national grid.
The post reads, “Please be informed that the power outage currently being experienced is due to a loss
of supply from the national grid at 11:23 am today, affecting electricity supply across our franchise areas.”
The company, however, assured the public that work was ongoing to restore the grid.
It added, “Rest assured, we are working closely with the relevant stakeholders to ensure power is restored once the grid is stabilised.
