The National Grid has collapsed for the third time this week, causing major power outages once again. The latest collapse occurred on Saturday, October 19, around 8:16 a.m., cutting off power supply nationwide.

Earlier this week, the grid experienced similar failures on Monday and Tuesday, which were later resolved. Just before Saturday’s collapse, power generation was at 3,042 megawatts by 8 a.m., with a peak of 3,968 megawatts at 7 a.m. Unfortunately, by 9 a.m., this dropped sharply to just 47 megawatts.

As a result, power distribution companies received no allocation, with the supply dropping to 0.00 megawatts. The exact cause of this frequent grid collapse has not yet been determined, and investigations are ongoing.

This recurring problem is raising concerns about the reliability of the National Grid and its ability to sustain consistent power generation. With no clear explanation yet, it is unclear how long these interruptions will continue or what measures will be taken to prevent further collapses. The situation is putting immense pressure on businesses and households, which rely heavily on stable power supply.
