BEVERLY HILLS, April 13, (THEWILL) – The Nigerian Electricity System Operator (SO), a department of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), has disclosed that it recorded 2,933Mw as lowest energy generation on April 12, 2021.
TCN’s General Manager, Public Affairs, Mrs. Ndidi Mbah, said the drop was because of a gas shortage.
“Generally, there is gas constraint now,” she said.
According to its system performance for the day under review, there was a record of 4,587mw peak generation.
The data noted the SO recorded a total generation of 3,992Mw and sent out 3,928mw.
For some day now, customers of distribution companies have been grappling with load shedding.
They take turns to have electricity supply.
Last Thursday, the Nigeria Electricity Supply Industry (NESI) recorded a dip in its power supply from 3,387Mw at 1:00am to 2,805Mw in day time; a development an insider source said was due to gas constraint.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian System Operator System Performance for Wednesday 07/04/2021 had reflected the lowest generation was 3,723MW. The System Operator said the peak generation for the period under review was 4,427mw while total energy generated was 4,078.7Mw. As at Wednesday, the System Operator sent out a total of 3,997Mw.
