SAN FRANCISCO, May 17, (THEWILL) – Blackout being experienced in the country is likely to persist as Nigeria’s electricity generation dropped to 1400 megawatts.
This was revealed by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), in a statement issued by Clement Ezeolisah, Assistant General Manager, public affairs.
“The management of the system operation/ market operation of the Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, has alerted that electricity generation into the national grid has dropped to 1400MW as at Tuesday, 17th May, 2016,” the statement read.
“The downward trend of electricity generation is due to constraints in the thermal power stations which have prevented the generators from producing at optimal levels.
“However, it is noteworthy to report that all stakeholders are working assiduous to achieve improvements in the power supply deliverables.
“The attendant inconvenience as a result of low power generation is regretted.”
