The National grid has collapsed again, just five days after it was restored following a similar incident that led to a total blackout across the country. The generation data indicated that only Afam VI (GAS/STEAM), Azura-Edo IPP (GAS), and Delta Gas contributed to the grid at the time. However, as of 7 p.m., generation had increased to 1,914.60 MW with 12 generators on the grid. The contributing generators were Afam VI (Gas/Steam), Azura-Edo IPP, Delta Gas, Egbin (Steam), Geregu (Gas), Kainji (hydro), Odukpani (NIPP), Okpai (Gas/Steam), Olorunsogo (gas/steam), Olorunsogo (NIPP), Trans-Amadi, and Omotosho (Gas). Although the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has yet to react to the development, the grid collapsed twice on September 14, 2023, marking 421 days since the last incident was recorded.
