The Federal Government, through the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, has said that discussions are ongoing to transfer the management of the national grid to Independent System Operators in line with the provisions of the Electricity Act 2023 to engender more discipline in grid management.

NERC also revealed that an explosion incident at the Jebba transmission station was the cause of the latest national grid collapse that occurred early yesterday.

According to the commission, efforts to restore supply have progressed significantly, with power restored in thirty-three states and the Federal Capital Territory.
