The notice of the collapse had earlier been sent by electricity distribution companies, Discos, to their various customers, before it was eventually confirmed by the TCN few hours ago.
The grid, according to the notices sent by the Discos collapsed around 12 am this morning.
Speaking, Ndidi Mbah, spokesperson for TCN said efforts are ongoing to restore power.
“It is a system collapse, but we are trying to restore it,” she told The Cable.
Meanwhile, electricity consumers who spoke to the magazine, particularly cold rooms owners have started lamenting the impact of the power cut on their business.
The development will result in serious financial loss to them if the problem is not fixed on time, they said.
