Nigeria’s national power grid has recorded its first major collapse for the first time in 2025 barely ten days into the new year.
The collapse has resulted in a nationwide blackout to the despair of Nigerians.
This incident marks the 13th occurrence in the past 13 months.
Checks by our correspondent showed that power generation dropped from 2111.01 megawatts as of 2 pm to 390.20 MW by 3 pm.
A post by The Energy podcast confirmed the blackout stating, “National grid suffers major collapse… First in 2025.”
Another post said, “Restoration has begun… Currently generating 302MW as of 02:40 pm.”
– The Incident
The collapse of the Nigerian national grid was reported with significant dismay across social media platforms, where users expressed frustration over the recurring issue.
This event comes after a year, 2024, that was notably marred by multiple grid failures, highlighting a persistent problem within Nigeria’s power infrastructure. The grid’s collapse led to widespread blackouts, disrupting daily life and economic activities.
Nigeria’s power grid has been notoriously unstable. Throughout 2024, there were 12 recorded collapses, each causing significant disruption.
This pattern of failure has not only been a source of inconvenience but has also had tangible economic impacts, with businesses suffering losses due to halted operations and increased reliance on alternative, often more expensive, power sources like diesel generators.
