The national electricity grid has collapsed again, plunging millions of people into darkness.

This makes it the third time the grid is collapsing within a week.

Data obtained from the Nigerian System Operator’s portal  revealed that the grid recorded an unprecedented zero Megawatts (MW) as of 8:16 am today.

Data gleaned showed that all 22 generation companies (GenCos) are down as of the time of this report.

This collapse marks the eighth grid disturbance in 2024, adding to challenges that have long plagued Nigeria’s power sector.
