Nigeria faced another widespread power outage on Tuesday as the national grid collapsed once again, leaving millions without electricity. The latest incident occurred at approximately 2:09 pm, according to a post on the official X account of the National Nigeria Grid. This marks the latest in a series of grid failures, with at least eight recorded collapses in 2024 alone, including multiple incidents just last month.

The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company PLC (EEDC) issued a notice to customers about the outage, which began at 1:52 pm on November 5, 2024. Emeka Ezeh, Head of Corporate Communications at EEDC, explained that “due to this development, all our interface TCN stations are out of supply," affecting service across Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, and Imo States.

Ezeh confirmed that the EEDC team is on standby and awaiting updates on the cause of the collapse and restoration efforts from the National Control Centre (NCC) in Osogbo. This ongoing instability highlights the challenges facing Nigeria’s energy infrastructure as authorities work toward a stable, sustainable power grid.
