• Gas scarcity reduces power supply to 2628 MWs
AN ALLEGED indiscriminate allocation of electricity in flagrant disregard for existing regulations may have set the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) and the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) on the warpath.
The NERC may have accused the TCN of flouting regulations on load allocation, resulting in poor electricity supply to some consumers. Key areas affected, according to sources, are Yola and Kano.
A mid-year report from the NERC obtained by The Guardian noted that Abuja Distribution Company got 10.0 megawatts (MWs) instead of 11.5MWs as stipulated by Multi-Year Tariff Order (MYTO). Benin got 10.7MWs instead of 9.0MWs. Eko got 10.8MWs instead of 11.0MWs. Enugu got 10.8MWs instead of 9.0MWs. The zone got higher than what is stipulated for it. Ibadan also got higher. Ibadan got 13.7MWs instead of 13.0MWs. Ikeja got 14.3MWs instead of 15.0MWs. Jos got 4.6MWs instead of 5.5MWs. Kaduna got 6.6MWs instead of 8.0MWs.
Kano got 3.7MWs instead of 8.0MWs. Port Harcourt got 6.5MWs, the load originally allocated to it. Yola Distribution Company got 1.6MWs instead of 3.5MWs as stipulated by MYTO.
