Nigeria’s national electricity grid experienced a significant collapse on Monday, plummeting by 81.5 percent from 3,647 megawatts (MW) to just 675MW by 1:00 PM. This drastic reduction in power supply resulted from a decrease in the number of active power plants feeding the grid, falling from 21 to only 2. Consequently, electricity distribution companies, including Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) and Ikeja Electric, were affected. The sudden drop in generation has undoubtedly created challenges for electricity supply across the country. This event raises concerns about the reliability of Nigeria’s power infrastructure and the potential impact on businesses and residents. Further details regarding the cause of the collapse and restoration efforts are yet to be released. The information originated from a report by Vanguard News in Abuja, Nigeria.
