Power On National Grid Drops To 1400MW

The Management of the System Operation/Market Operation of the Transmission Company of Nigeria, (TCN), Tuesday stated that the electricity power on the national grid has dropped to 1400 megawatts.

According to the statement released by the company and signed by the Asst. General Manager (Public Affairs), Mr Clement Ezeolisah, the downward trend of electricity generation is due to constraints in the thermal power stations which have prevented the generators from producing at optimal levels.
As at last year May the country was having no less than 4000 megawatts of electricity on the national grid.
However, the statement revealed that all stakeholders are working assiduously to achieve improvements in the power supply deliverables.
Expressing concern on the drop on national grid, the management stated: “The attendant inconvenience as a result of low power generation is regretted”.
