- Collapses less than 2 weeks in 2025
Nigeria’s national power grid has recorded its first major collapse for the first time in 2025.
A post by The Energy podcast confirmed the development.
“National grid suffers major collapse… First in 2025.”
Another post said, “Restoration has begun… Currently generating 302MW as of 02:40 pm.”
This recent collapse marks the 13th occurrence in the past 13 months.
In another news, the Niger State Government has disclosed that the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, has officially handed over regulatory oversight of the electricity market in the state to the Niger State Electricity Regulatory Commission, NSERC.
Special Adviser to the Governor on Digital Media and Strategy, Abdullberqy Usman Ebbo, in a post on X, said the move marks a new chapter of the state’s approach to managing its energy resources.
He explained that Governor Mohammed Bago described the development as a major victory as it empowers the state to take charge of its own electricity system.
