For the first time in 2025, the national grid has reportedly collapsed, leading to nationwide power failure.
The collapse was said to have occurred on Saturday, barely 10 days into the new year, marking it the 13th time in 13 months.
In a confirmation post shared by The Energy Time Podcast, it noted, “National Grid Suffers Major Collapse… First in 2025.”
Although they disclosed that restoration work has already begun, “Currently generating 302 MW as of 02:40 pm.”
The Energy Time Podcast further explained, “We understand the misunderstanding that could arise from your experience. And two truths can coexist.A little explainer here, if you don’t mind.”
“There are two main types of national grid collapse: Partial collapse—this is where some parts of the country still have light even with the collapse experienced.

“Total collapse—this is when every part of the country is experiencing the blackout.”
“On today’s development, the grid collapsed around 01:56 pm, and we reported 36 minutes later. That your light went off 10 minutes after our report does not make it false.”
“On our last check, generation was a little above 1000 MW out of the possible 4500/4800 MW,” The Energy Time Podcast wrote.
