Four states, namely Rivers, Cross River, Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom have been
thrown into darkness following the collapse of the National Grid which
occurred yesterday June 19th.
According to PM News, the Head of Corporate Communications at the Port
Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company, PHED, which supplies
electricity to these states, yesterday notified its consumers in the
four states that the National Power Grid had collapsed and so they will
not be able to supply them power until the grid is repaired.
He said PHED would however source for power from other alternative
sources to consumers that are willing to pay for the power.
