Checks from a source revealed that power generation was at 3,042 megawatts at 8 AM, peaking at 3,968 MW at 7 AM. However, by 9 AM, generation had plummeted to just 47 MW.
At the time of this report, the allocation to power distribution companies stood at 0.00 MW.
The cause of the collapse remains unclear, as the Transmission Company of Nigeria could not be reached for comment.
