On Tuesday, the National Grid experienced its second 2026 collapse.
Data at the time of filing this report revealed that the 11 electricity distribution companies had no megawatts of power supplies.
The Grid’s first collapse in a year occurred last Friday, just two weeks after a similar incident on December 29, 2025, which had resulted in widespread power outages nationwide.
Transmission line maintenance, fluctuation in generation capacity, and technical issues have been the causes of grid collapses.
As of 11:00 AM, electricity generation dropped dramatically from more than 4,500 megawatts to as low as 0 megawatts.
During the incident, all 23 power generation plants connected to the grid reportedly lost output, leaving none of the 11 electricity distribution companies with no power.
