The drop followed a partial system collapse at the Shiroro Power Station .
It was also learnt that due to the collapse, the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) reduced the allocation to the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) from 450MW to 245MW yesterday .
However, the situation worsened on Wednesday, to the extent that allocation to the Abuja Disco stood at about 181.77Mw.
A source said there was a partial system’s collapse on Tuesday at Shiroro, which brought down generation to about 2000MW from the 4300 peak that was attained earlier in the week.
This brought down AEDC’s allocation on Wednesday to about 245MW from its normal baseline of about 450MW.
“At about 7.34am today, (yesterday the allocation rose to about 327MW, but caved
in again at 9.48am to 181.77MW. The situation deteriorated to 131.77MW as at 1.25pm,” a source said
