Nigeria's national grid partially collapsed on November 5, 2024, the ninth outage this year.

Nigeria's national grid partially collapsed on November 5, 2024, marking the ninth such incident this year. The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) attributed the outage to a series of line and generator trippings. Power was restored to Abuja shortly after the disturbance, but many regions remained affected. Aging infrastructure and load rejections by distribution companies are contributing factors, prompting government efforts to upgrade the power sector.
