Nigeria’s national electricity grid suffered a collapse on Wednesday, leading to a widespread blackout across the country.
According to data from the Independent System Operator (ISO), power generation plummeted from 2,917.83 megawatts (MW) to just 1.5MW between 11:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m.
The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) confirmed the incident in a statement shared on X, attributing the outage to a loss of supply from the grid at 11:23 a.m.
“The power outage currently being experienced is due to a loss of supply from the national grid, affecting electricity supply across our franchise areas,” AEDC stated.
The company added that efforts were ongoing with relevant stakeholders to restore power once the grid is stabilized.
