Grid Collapses

The National Grid system on Tuesday recorded its second collapse in 2026, causing widespread power outages across the country.

Grid collapses have been attributed to a combination of technical faults, inadequate maintenance of transmission lines, and fluctuations in generation capacity.

Electricity generation dropped sharply from over 5,500 megawatts to as low as 0 megawatts as of 11: 00 AM.WAT.

Checks showed that all 23 power generation plants connected to the grid reportedly lost output during the incident, resulting in zero power allocation to each of the 11 electricity distribution companies.
