According to new reports, the state of power supply in Nigeria has improved significantly following recent efforts.
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has said that the
nation’s power generation improved slightly to 3,528.90 megawatts on
Feb. 1 from 2,662 megawatts on Jan. 22.
This figure was given on the website of the Nigerian Electricity
System Operator (SO), a sub-agency of the TCN, in its daily forecast on
power generation in Lagos on Wednesday.
“The slight increase in generation is due to slightly increased
gas supply to some Generating Companies (GENCOs) to boost operations.
“The total output of 3,528.90 megawatts from all the GENCOs on
Wednesday has been transferred to the 11 distribution companies across
the country,’’ the TCN sub-agency website said.
NAN reports that the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI)
operational report said the power sector dropped to 2,662.20 megawatt on
Jan. 22 because of low water levels and challenge of accessing gas by
GENCOs.
The report said the sector recorded highest system frequency of
51.50Hz and lowest system frequency of 48.80 Hz, while the highest and
the lowest voltage recorded on Wednesday were 372KV and 300KV.
A reliable TCN official, who preferred anonymity, confirmed to NAN the gas supply to generating companies increased slightly.
