TCN Confirms the Gradual Drop in Electricity Generation

Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has confirmed the gradual drop in electricity generation by power plants in the country.

The transmission company blamed the development on the shortage of gas supply to the gas fired power plants nationwide.

TCN spokesperson, Ndid Mbah in a statement, said the drop in the electricity supply has affected the volume of bulk power available on the national grid, to distribution load centers nationwide.

She explained that TCN is collaborating with stakeholders in the power sector to keep the national grid intact, despite the low power in the system.

Ndidi said the company would increase supply load canters as gas supply improves to the power plants.

TCN is doing everything possible in collaboration with stakeholders in the power sector to ensure that it continues to keep the grid intact inspite of the current low power generated into the system.

Consequent upon the current load on the grid, load distributed to the distribution load centres have also reduced, as TCN can only transmit what is generated.

TCN is committed to ensuring a gradual increase in electricity supply to load centers as gas improves to power available thermal plants.

Please bear with us as we continue to work with the stakeholders in the value chain to ensure that supply through distribution companies to electricity consumers nationwide improves, the statement added.
