47 per cent in the last five years, with 20 grid disturbances compared to the previous five years, when there were 85 collapses. 'In recent years, the number of grid disturbances/system collapses has gradually reduced, contrary to popular opinion. 'Clearly, between 2020 to date , we recorded fourteen total and six partial grid disturbances totalling twenty , which represents a 76.

47 per cent reduction in grid disturbance, when compared to the previous five years, where we had sixty-four total and twenty-one partial grid disturbances, totalling eighty-five times', he stated. Meanwhile, the development comes amid the recent 240 per cent electricity tariff hike announced by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission on April 3, 2024.
