The national electricity grid witnessed another collapse that has resulted in the drop in power generation from over 3,000 megawatts to just 108.7MW.
This is coming as the Federal Government signed Put and Call Option Agreements with two power firms, Afrinergia and CT Cosmos, for the construction of 50MW and 70MW solar power plants, respectively.
It was learnt that heavy rainfall at three transmission stations led to load reduction that prompted high frequency in the system, a development that triggered the collapse of the electricity grid, the first to be recorded in the second quarter of this year.
Reports indicate that the country’s electricity grid collapsed 10 times in the first quarter of this year.
