The national grid, on Friday, collapsed for the first time
this year.
According to data obtained from the Nigerian Independent
System Operator (NISO), the power generation dropped to zero megawatt (MW).
The NISO data showed that load allocation to the 11
electricity distribution companies (DisCos) dropped to zero MW as at 1 pm on
Friday.
The distribution companies, including Benin, Eko, Enugu,
Ikeja, Jos, Kaduna, Kano, Port Harcourt, Ibadan, Abuja, and Yola, recorded zero
allocation.
In 2025, the nation’s power grid collapsed multiple times,
with the last incident recorded on December 29.
The repeated system failures have occurred despite upgrades
designed to increase grid capacity.
The Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) had said it
had restored an additional 450 MW of generation capacity to the national grid
following the completion of scheduled maintenance on the Geregu National
Integration Power Project (NIPP) plant.
On November 9, 2025, the NISO said it partnered with the
West African Power Pool Information and Coordination Centre (WAPP-ICC) to
conduct a synchronisation test between Nigeria’s power grid and the wider West
African power network.
