Issues
Issue 1Covering 12–25 October 2026
Grid output fell to about 477MW on 19 October. The same week, the Federal Government said it would build two new grids and would not raise tariffs.
What’s in each issue
- The fortnight in one line
- The single most important fact, with its number.
- Numbered items
- Grid, regulation, DisCos, mini-grids, C&I solar, gas-to-power and finance. Facts first, then a line on why it matters.
- Grid Ledger
- The same indicators every issue, each with its source and as-of date. No new data reads as not reported, never as zero.
- West Africa in brief
- Regional moves that set benchmarks for Nigeria.
- Coming up
- Dated deadlines, hearings and events for the next four weeks.
How we check
- Every number links to its source, and is labelled when it is reported, claimed, a target or an estimate rather than a measurement.
- When sources disagree, both figures are shown, each with its source.
- Official framing is reported as framing: “NISO calls it a partial disturbance”.
- Press-only claims need two independent outlets, or one outlet plus an on-record statement.
- Corrections appear at the top of the next issue, and the archived issue is updated with a dated note.
- Gen318 never appears in the news items. An entity is tagged [disclosure] when Gen318 has replied to, met or sent a proposal to it in the last 90 days, or has a pilot, contract or partnership with it.
