This qualitative single case study explored the economic consequences of Nigeria's electric power outages. To business enterprises and organizations, electricity serves as an indispensable input and contributions to the productivity of human capital. Virtually all organizations and business activities, especially industrial units, require constant and effective flow of electricity. Hence, access to reliable electricity supply increases the productivity and welfare of society and consequently the economic development of any nation. To understand the underlying problems of Nigeria's power outages, the following central research question was asked: What information do electric utility leaders and management need to understand regarding power outage, inefficient electricity supply and its consequence on Nigeria economy? A sample of 20 participants was taken from the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) executives, managers, and power consumer customers who were located in Lagos, Nigeria. Using semi-structured personal interviews and archival documents pertaining to power outages, the data was analyzed employing QSR NVivo 11 Pro(TM). Five main themes emerged from the study namely: - management inefficiency and corruption; infrastructural challenges; privatization strategy and regulatory reform; training, research and development (R&D); and renewable sources of power supply. The study participants concluded that revamping the sector's infrastructure and eradicating management corruption may help mitigate power outages. The participants also found that inclusion of renewable resources may allow power sector management to develop efficient power portfolios using modern portfolio theory (MPT) and also government reform policy should encourage private investors' participation in the power sector. The findings of the study provided suggestions on how to improve electricity supply and efficiency in Nigeria.
