The grid collapsed on Wednesday, with Abuja Electricity Distribution Company recording 40Mw around 12:23 pm
TheForesight confirm that of all the distribution companies, only the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) recorded 40Mw at that material time with others recording 0Mw.
This is coming 38 days after a similar collapse on June 12, and just 20 days after the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) activated a partial contract order for the Nigerian electricity market to guarantee 5,000MW and at least 4,000MW.
The latest system collapse, being the fifth this year, occured around 12 noon when the grid went blank.
As of 11am, data from the System Operations section of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) indicated that the grid generation had dropped from over 3,000MW earlier to 2,788.90MW with 19 active generation companies (GenCos).
The highest generation came from Delta Gas with 453MW and Azura with 448MW while Dadin Kowa had dropped to zero point.
