National grid collapses again, second time in five days
Nigeria’s national electricity grid has suffered another collapse, the second in five days, leading to widespread power outages across the country.
The system failure occurred on Tuesday morning, disrupting electricity supply to homes and businesses nationwide.
Data obtained from the Nigerian Independent System Operator (NISO) shows that load allocation to the 11 electricity distribution companies dropped to zero megawatts by 11am, indicating a complete shutdown of the grid.
The development marks another setback for the power sector, coming just days after a previous grid collapse that had only recently been stabilised.
