An Electricity Grid

Nigeria’s national grid has suffered a major setback, resulting in a nationwide power outage as all major electricity distribution companies (DisCos) reported zero load as of 8:40 a.m. this morning.

The grid, which was expected to generate around 4,800 megawatts (MW), failed to deliver any electricity, leaving millions without power.

It will be recalled that the national electricity grid suffered its second collapse in less than 24 hours on Tuesday morning at around 9:17 a.m. and led to a total blackout nationwide.

This follows a previous failure on Monday evening, which began around 6:18 p.m. Power generation had dropped from 3.87 gigawatts at 5 p.m. to 3.56 gigawatts by 6 p.m. and then to zero by 7 p.m.
