For the fifth time in 2025, the National Grid has collapsed.
This happened Wednesday, and was confirmed in a public notice dated September 10, 2025, by the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company in a post on its X handle.
According to AEDC, the power outage currently experienced is 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 is ongoing to restore service.
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, on its X account, it 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 quantity 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 reads: “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”.
