Nigeria’s national power grid continues to face severe operational challenges, with only a handful of plants contributing electricity.
This is according to the latest data from the Nigerian Independent System Operator (NISO).
Checks on the NISO portal at 13.00 hours on Friday show that out of more than 30 power stations connected to the national grid, only eight generated electricity, while the majority recorded zero output.
The low generation underscores persistent instability in Nigeria’s electricity supply, as the country grapples with frequent grid collapses and inadequate power to meet national demand.
Recent reports from the National Grid, shared via its official X account, indicate a further decline in electricity generation across Nigeria.
Energy experts warn that generation levels below 1,500MW could trigger widespread load shedding and blackouts across multiple states.
