Nigeria’s national power grid has experienced yet another collapse, with power generation dropping from a peak of 3,594.60 megawatts (MW) at 1:00 a.m. to a mere 42.7MW at the time of this report.

As of 12 noon today, only the Delta Power plant remained operational on the grid, producing 41.00MW, while Afam contributed a minimal 1.7MW.

This occurrence follows closely on the heels of two recent grid collapses in just over a 12-hour period, plunging the nation into complete darkness.

Recent power issues 

 Last week Wednesday, Nairametrics reported the collapse of the nation’s electricity grid throwing the country into a blackout. The Minister of Power attributed the collapse of the grid to a fire outbreak at the Kainji/Jebba station.  

There have also been issues in Nigeria’s power sector in recent times. A few days ago, the Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company confirmed that a fire outbreak had engulfed the Birnin Kebbi transmission station destroying key infrastructure.  

This sent three states (Kebbi, Zamfara, and Sokoto states) into a blackout.
