Both discos noted that the collapse affected the power supply in their 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.”
In 2024, Nigeria recorded a string of power disruptions and blackouts arising from multiple incidents of national grid collapses.
Before this collapse, the most recent occurred on December 11.
The national grid collapsed about four times in October 2024, making it the month with the most incidents of national grid collapses that year.
