National grid fails again, second system disturbance in 5 days

Nigeria’s national electricity grid failed again on Tuesday morning around 11am, throwing many homes and businesses into darkness in what is the second nationwide outage in five days. Data from the Nigerian Independent System Operator (NISO), a unit of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), showed total generation from just two GENCOs at about 219 megawatts at the time of the disturbance.​ Head of Communications at NISO, Mr Kazah Akau, downplayed the incident, saying it was “not actually a collapse but a little disturbance” and promised that an official statement would be issued.

Power minister promises quick restoration of electricity supply

Minister of Power Adebayo Adelabu has assured Nigerians that electricity supply will be rapidly restored after a sharp nationwide drop in power in recent days. He said the disruption is temporary and linked to a sudden shortfall in generation caused by damage to critical gas infrastructure.​ According to the minister, the decline followed an explosion on the Escravos–Lagos Gas Pipeline and acts of vandalism on other gas facilities feeding several major thermal power plants. These incidents cut gas supply, forcing many gas fired stations to reduce output and leading to reduced power on the national grid.​ Adelabu spoke after a meeting with key sector stakeholders, including the National Independent System Operator, Transmission Company of Nigeria, generation companies and distribution companies. He said repairs to the affected pipelines are nearing completion and that full operations are expected to resume within 24 […]
