The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), in its recent report on the Second Quarter, stated that one partial grid disturbance was recorded during the period.
Both the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company PLC (EEDC) and the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC), respectively, confirmed Monday’s grid .
The National Grid on Saturday collapsed throwing Nigerians into darkness.
The grid disturbance marked the sixth grid collapse that the country would experience in 2024.
