The firm said restoration of the grid has commenced with bulk power supply back to Abuja around 2.49 pm Tuesday.

“This followed a series of lines and generators trippings that caused instability of the grid and, consequently, the partial disturbance of the system.

“The data from the National Control Centre (NCC) revealed that a part of the grid was not affected by the bulk power disruption.

“TCN engineers are already working to quickly restore bulk power supply to the states affected by the partial disturbance. Presently, bulk power supply has been restored to Abuja, at 2.49pm, and we are gradually restoring to other parts of the country”, the TCN statement said.

Enugu Electricity Distribution Company confirmed the grid collapse in a notice to customers on Tuesday.

At the time of filing this report, parts of Abuja are still in darkness.

In 2024 alone, the national grid has collapsed at least nine times, plunging the country into darkness.

Recall that parts of Northern Nigeria had been under darkness for weeks due to vandalised TCN facilities in the region.
