Electricity supply has been restored nationwide after Nigeria’s power grid suffered another system disturbance on Monday, causing a partial collapse, the Nigerian Independent System Operator (NISO) said.
The disruption occurred at 2:01 p.m. on December 29 and affected electricity supply in several parts of the country.
Power generation, which peaked at about 4,800 megawatts earlier in the day, dropped sharply to 139 megawatts by 3 p.m., according to grid data.
In a statement issued Monday night, NISO said the disturbance triggered the tripping of several power generation units and critical 330-kilovolt transmission lines.
“The National Grid experienced a system disturbance at 14:01 hours on Monday, 29 December 2025, which led to a partial collapse,” the operator said.
“Preliminary reports indicate the tripping of multiple generating units and 330kV transmission lines, resulting in widespread impact on electricity supply.”
The incident occurred amid ongoing gas supply constraints following the vandalisation of the Escravos–Lagos gas pipeline earlier this month, which has reduced fuel supply to several thermal power plants.
NISO said the gas shortages had further weakened the grid.
