Nigeria’s electricity grid has experienced another collapse.
The collapse occurred around 2:42 am on Monday, resulting in a drop in generation to 64.70 megawatts.
Data from the Independent System Operator (ISO), a branch of the Transmission Company of Nigeria, revealed that only one generation company, Ibom Power, was operational during the collapse. This marks the sixth collapse in 2024.
As of 8 am on Monday, ISO data indicated that the grid is currently generating 266.50 megawatts of electricity from Okpai, Geregu, and Ibom power plants.
Jos DisCo confirmed the collapse in a statement, attributing the outage within its franchise states to the loss of power supply from the national grid. Dr. Friday Adakole Elijah, the company’s Head of Corporate Affairs, expressed optimism for the restoration of the grid to ensure normal power supply to customers.
