BREAKING: National Grid Collapses, Disrupts Power Supply

The national grid suffered a collapse on Wednesday.

This was confirmed in a public notice dated September 10, 2025, by the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company in a post on its X handle on Wednesday.

According to AEDC, the power outage currently experienced was due to a loss of supply from the national grid.

The post reads, “Please be informed that the power outage currently being experienced is due to a loss of supply from the national grid at 11:23 am today, affecting electricity supply across our franchise areas.”

The company, however, assured the public that work was ongoing to restore the grid.

It added, “Rest assured, we are working closely with the relevant stakeholders to ensure power is restored once the grid is stabilised.

“Thank you for your patience and understanding. For further updates or inquiries, call: 08039070070.
WhatsApp: 08152141414, 08152151515. Thank you.”

In another tweet, the X account stated that the Disco loads of all power distribution companies across the country aside Ibadan DisCo have come down to zero megawatt.

“Disco load” is the amount of power (in megawatts, MW) allocated from the national grid to each Electricity Distribution Company (DisCo).

Confirming the development in a statement, the Abuja DisCo assured its customers that efforts are ongoing to stabilise the grid and restore power.

The statement read, “Dear Valued Customers, Please be informed that the power outage currently being experienced is due to a loss of supply from the national grid at 11:23 hrs today, affecting electricity supply across our franchise areas.

“Rest assured, we are working closely with the relevant stakeholders to ensure power is restored once the grid is stabilized. Thank you for your patience and understanding.”
