The National Grid on Tuesday recorded its second collapse in 2026.
As of the time of filing this report, data showed zero megawatts of power supply to the 11 electricity distribution companies.
The Grid had recorded its first collapse in the year last Friday, barely weeks after a similar incident on December 29, 2025, which had caused 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 4,500 megawatts to as low as 0 megawatts as of 11: 00 AM.
