Nigeria’s power capacity too weak for uninterrupted supply — National Grid

The Nigerian National Grid Agency announced on Thursday, November 7, that the country’s power generation, transmission, and distribution infrastructure is insufficient to support uninterrupted electricity supply.

In a statement shared on its official X account, the agency explained, “We have observed numerous messages about both regular and irregular supply.

“Our generation, transmission, and distribution capacities are nowhere near enough for you to expect uninterrupted power.”

The agency highlighted load shedding as a routine measure to manage limited supply, describing it as “a type of supply rotation” necessary even when the grid is stable.

“If the National Grid is stable, you still have to make room for load shedding,” the statement read.

Consumers experiencing longer-than-usual delays in power restoration were encouraged to contact their local Distribution Companies (DisCos) for more information.
