Average peak power generation dropped from 4,518 megawatt (MW) in April, 2013, to 4,225MW in May, Minister of Power, Prof. Chinedu Nebo, has disclosed.
The drop in power generation and disruptions in the nation’s power supply which includes incidences of total or partial system collapse has been blamed on rainstorm.
While assuring that the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has been repositioned to meet the expectations and requirements, Nebo said such disturbances to the national supply systems usually peaked at the commencement of the rainy season across the country.
“It is important to mention that such disturbances to the national supply systems usually peak at the commencement of the rainy season across the country. This is usually a natural phenomenon owing to our geographical peculiarities,” Nebo said in a detailed explanation of the state of power supply yesterday.
