x The grid, operated from Osogbo, Osun State, by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) failed at about 12:26 pm on Wednesday. The national electricity grid has failed electricity consumers more than 128 times since the nation’s power sector was privatised in 2013. Association of Nigerian Electricity Distributors (ANED), the umbrella body of distribution companies, had earlier blamed the situation on the obsolete, analogue systems being used by the TCN. Some utility companies had issued public notices about the inability to power consumers due to the challenge. “We have been unable to serve our customers in Niger, Kogi and Nasarawa states as well as a significant portion of the entire Federal Capital Territory,” a notice by the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company had said.
