Blackout as national grid collapses

The national grid has suffered a new total system collapse.

Electricity distribution companies (DisCos), in different notices to customers, stated that the national grid collapsed at about 12.40 a.m. on Thursday, September 14, 2023.

This is the first time the national grid will collapse in 2023.

The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC), in a statement by its Head of Corporate Communications, Emeka Ezeh, said the situation led to the loss of supply currently being experienced across South-East.
