The Nigeria’s national power grid has collapsed for the first time in 2025 barely ten days into the new year.
The collapse, which has thrown many Nigerian households and industries into a nationwide blackout, happened on Saturday, January 11, 2025.
The blackout is happening for the 13th time in the past 13 months.
Available information showed that power generation dropped from 2111.01 megawatts as of 2 pm to 390.20 MW by 3pm on Saturday.
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.”
