Wednesday, February 12, 2025 - Parts of Nigeria have been thrown into darkness as the national grid experienced a collapse again on Wednesday, marking the second time in the year.
According to data obtained from the Nigerian System Operator’s portal
(niggrid.org), the collapse occurred around 11:30 am on Wednesday.
The cause of this grid disturbance is yet to be disclosed by the
Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN.
Abuja Electricity Distribution Company, AEDC, confirmed that the grid
disturbance happened around 11:30 am on Wednesday.
“We regret to inform you that a system disturbance occurred on the
national grid at 11:34 am today (Wednesday), causing a power outage across our
franchise areas.
“While gradual restoration of power supply has commenced, please be
assured that we are working closely with relevant stakeholders to fully restore
electricity as soon as the grid is stabilised,” AEDC said in a statement on X
on Wednesday.
Similarly, a popular Nigeria National Grid account on X wrote on
Wednesday, “There was a “GRID DISTURBANCE” before noon today (Wednesday). Parts
of the country experienced an outage”.
This incident follows a pattern of instability, with the grid suffering
about 12 consecutive collapses in 2024.
