Nigeria’s 2026 power crisis stems from a gas shortage, forcing widespread blackouts and grid cuts.
A severe natural gas shortage is causing widespread power outages in Nigeria in early 2026.
Thermal power plants in the country receive only roughly 692 million standard cubic feet of gas per day, which is less than 43% of the 1,629.75 million needed for full operation.
In order to preserve grid stability, the Nigerian Independent System Operator (NISO) implemented load shedding and lowered power allocations after the country's electricity generation fell to an average of 4,300 megawatts.
Due to supply and maintenance problems, the deficit has resulted in extended blackouts that have impacted homes, businesses, and vital services.
As gas availability improves, NISO said it is working with stakeholders to restore full supply and expressed regret for the disruptions.
