On January 10th, 2025, Nigeria’s national power grid failed again, just ten days into the new year. This was the thirteenth power outage in the previous thirteen months, following twelve similar incidents in 2024.
The collapse resulted in widespread blackouts across the country. Data from the Nigerian System Operator’s portal indicates that the collapse occurred at 1:56 pm.
The portal later provided an update stating that power restoration had commenced and 302 megawatts of electricity were currently being generated at 2:40 pm.
EnergyTimePod acknowledged that readers may have misunderstood the explanation of the National Grid collapse.
EnergyTimePod wrote: “We understand the misunderstanding that could arise from your experience.
“And two truths can coexist. A little explainer here: There are two main types of national grid collapse.
“Partial collapse: This is where some parts of the country still have light even with the collapse experienced.
“Total collapse: This is when every part of the country is experiencing the blackout.
“On today’s development, the grid collapsed around 01:56 pm and we reported 36 minutes later.
“That your light went off 10 minutes after our report does not make it false. On our last check, generation was a little above 1000MW out of the possible 4500/4800MW.”
