Nigerian electricity transmission revamps up generation to 76,297.6MWh

Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has stated that Nigeria’s electricity generation rebounded further following a significant crash recorded in the previous week.

Energy generation improved by 7.5% on Monday to 76,297.58MWh compared to 70,943.35MWh generated on Sunday.

In the same vein, the energy supply increased by 7.6% to 75,197.46MWh from 69,886.65MWh recorded in the previous day.

Energy generation peaked at 3,409.5MW on Monday, while off-peak was 3,021.7MW. Notably, 98.56% of the generated energy in the day under review was sent out to Distributing Companies.

Power generation and supply had declined by 15.7% on Saturday, falling to their lowest levels since 9th April 2022. Energy generation averaged at 76,983.67MWh between the 29th of May and the 4th of June 2022, lower than the average 86,336.55MWh recorded in the previous week.

Nigeria’s energy generation and supply continue to remain below the minimum 105,000MWh required to record some level of stability in power supply in the country.

Nigerians continue to grapple with epileptic power supply.

The Ministry of Power through a statement issued and signed by the Special Assistant to the Minister of Power on Media, Malam Sanusi on Saturday, attributed the recent electricity dip to the partial shutdown of the Obem gas plant. (Nairametrics)
