Power supply dips to 4,108MW, contradicts TCN’s peak transmission claim
There is no sign of improved electricity supply to Nigerians as the nation recorded an average power sent out of 4,108MW on December 26, data from the Nigerian Electricity System operator of the Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, shows.
This contradicts TCN’s claim that it recorded a new national peak with the transmission of 5,222.3megawatts, MW, the same day, the highest ever recorded in Nigeria’s power sector to-date. TCN had also reported that on December 20, Azura Independent Power’s first turbine was synchronized to the national grid and began producing electricity for distribution across the country.
Explaining the power situation to Vanguard, TCN said that out of the 4,108MW achieved on December 26th, 1095MW was lost due to gas constraint while 466MW was lost due to water constraint.
