Nigerians have witnessed an improved electricity supply after the
electricity grid in the country rose to 4,133megawatts (mw), the first
time in about six months.
The Tribune reports that the statistics obtained from the Nigeria
System Operator (NSO), an arm of the Transmission Company of Nigeria
(TCN) showed that 4,133mw was the peak generation on Wednesday
while the lowest generation the same day was 3,282mw.
Peak generation for yesterday (Thursday) however dropped to 3,815mw.
After the grid attained 5,074mw on February 2, 2016, series of
vandalism of oil and gas pipelines brought down generation to as low as
88mw. The trend fluctuated through March to June with the highest output
at an average 2,400mw.
However , the improvement is still over 900mw short of the historic 5,000mw attainment of
February.
The total operational turbines for generating power reduced from
over 90 this year to about 35 in June.
The operational units however
have increased to 48 last Sunday, a weekly report from the Nigerian
Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) said.
