The national Grid has collapsed again oo

National grid collapses again, power generation drops to 24MW

The National Power Grid collapsed once again, leaving parts of the country in darkness and disrupting electricity supply to millions of households and businesses.

Checks by our correspondent revealed that electricity generation dropped sharply from over 4,500 megawatts to as low as 24 megawatts as of 1:30 pm.

All 23 power generation plants connected to the grid reportedly lost output during the incident, resulting in zero power allocation to each of the 11 electricity distribution companies.

The cause of the collapse could not be immediately determined, and officials of the Transmission Company of Nigeria had yet to issue a detailed statement at the time of filing this report.

This is the first grid collapse recorded in 2026, coming barely weeks after a similar incident on December 29, 2025, which had also caused widespread power outages across the country.

PUNCH Online reports that in recent years, grid collapses have been attributed to a combination of technical faults, inadequate maintenance of transmission lines, and fluctuations in generation capacity.

Stakeholders have continued to call on the government and power operators to implement robust contingency measures to prevent recurring failures.

While the public awaits an official explanation, this latest collapse has renewed concerns over Nigeria’s electricity infrastructure and its ability to support the growing demand for reliable power.

This is just a vindication that Tinubu has failed woefully in every aspect of governance.

"National grid" will continue to collapse until you do something about "National greed."

When is that scam going to end , billions go into repairs that are false

Falling like a child that is learning how to walk .
How many times this year alone
Yet we dey supply some county light.
Make all of them getat..
Btw I thought States are empowered to generate and distribute power.
What happened

Having a National grid is fraudulent
and a national security risk....

As a band A customer we are not getting the promised 20 hours again since last year. What should we do since they are still charging same fee.

You can see that there's no future in Nigeria, a whole giant of Africa can't provide constant electricity for only 200million people..

Indian that has massive population, has more than enough light even in their rural areas...

We no know national grid dey happen for our side, no light since one month now. All is well sha

The black man is simply incompetent.

Abeg they should restore it ASAP.

Update.

Light has been restored. 2:55 PM

Caused by greed. The national greed indeed.

These grids fall quicker that Nigeria banny's breasts since the klepto grab power.

What exactly is Nigerians benefitting from this criminal government??

We all started hearing about "National grid" when APC came into power...

Our grid Dey spoil but we Dey share light give others!!!

AEDC customers cannot relate because 24/7, they don't always have light

weda it collapse or not

One day, Tinubu will surely collapse with this national grid.

Since they can never fix it, One day Tinubu will join the grid and collapse so that everybody will rest.
