According to the Nigerian Transmission Company (TCN), Nigeria’s electricity generation peaked at 3,599 megawatts (MW), down 2.6% from the previous day’s peak of 3,694.2MW and the lowest in thirty-seven days. In a similar vein, off-peak generation fell by 3% to 3,245MW, down from 3,346.5MW the day before.
Meanwhile, on Monday, 82,744MWh of energy was generated, down 2.5% from 84,847.4MWh generated the day before, while the electricity supply was down 2.4 % 81,710.47MWh.
The Generating Companies delivered 98.75% of the total power generated.
Nigerians continue to deal with epileptic power supply, with numerous grid interruptions documented in 2022, causing extensive blackouts throughout the country.
It’s worth mentioning that the day’s maximum frequency was 50.59Hz, and the lowest frequency was 49.07Hz.
Meanwhile, Nigeria’s Minister of Power, Mr Abubakar Aliyu, said that the ministry is working toward a reliable power grid to ensure efficient electricity supply during an interactive session with the Senate Committee on Power and critical stakeholders; on “Frequent National Grid Collapse.”
Also, the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has reported completed work on the 330KV Akure Transmission Substation in Ondo State, which is expected to deliver up to 96MW of electricity.
Electricity is essential for many Nigerians and their businesses, especially given the surge in diesel prices and recent fuel scarcity across the country. As a result, the cost of power in the country rises and is further exacerbated by constant disruption in the electricity supply.
