Nigerian Electricity has experienced another major collapse of its power system, thereby sending several communities across the country into darkness.
Oyebode Fadipe, General Manager, Corporate Communications, Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC), said the system collapse disrupted supply in Abuja and its environs, according to Vanguard’s report.
Fadipe said: “We have been unable to serve our customers in Niger, Kogi and Nasarawa States as well as a significant portion of the entire Federal Capital Territory.
To corroborate the outer darkness in some parts of Nigeria, Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC), in a message to its customers, said: “Dear customer, the present outage is due to a system collapse on the National Grid. TCN assures us that supply will be restored shortly.”
“Network/Grid instability is a key factor in Electric Power Generation. Hence, building a strategy to increase system resilience requires an understanding of a wide range of preparatory, preventive, and remedial actions as well as an awareness of how these actions impact planning, operation, and restoration over the entire life cycle of different kinds of grid failures.”
