SaharaReporters earlier reported how there had been a blackout in the country’s major cities and towns due to the grid failure on Thursday.
A report by The Guardian said the grid dropped to a meagre 273 megawatts of electricity in the early hours of Thursday.
According to the paper, the 273 megawatts are got from two out of the over 27 electricity generation.
A number of distribution companies confirmed to The Guardian that the grid went down at 00:41 AM, disclosing that most of their feeders were out.
