Power Generation Leaps to 4200Megawatts

The Transition Company of Nigeria, TCN, on Wednesday, March 2,  said power generation soared to 4200 Megawatts (MW) on Tuesday, March 1.

Assistan. General Manager, Clement Ezeolisah, in a statement explained that power had dropped to 3,755Mw due to a ruptured gas pipeline that supplies gas to the power generating stations.

Ezeolisah noted that the electricity market had “experienced a drop to an average of 3,755Mw last week following scheduled maintenance programme on the gas pipelines supplying gas to the generating stations.”

Meanwhile, the Federal Ministry of Power in its power statistics of February 27, said power generation was 3,659.74Mw.

Ezeolisah said the TCN wheeled out 3,594.71Mw to the electricity distribution companies leaving 65.03Mw that it could not evacuate.
