SIX electricity generating plants have been shut down across the country, causing worry that the relative stability in power supply in recent times may be short-lived. It was gathered that the situation has made power generation to fall uncontrollably to about 4,652 Mega Watts (MW). The development came as Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) vowed to eradicate crude oil theft in eight months in the country. The daily power generation report issued by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) and obtained by The Guardian yesterday showed that only 16 of the 25 existing power generating plants in the country are currently running. Besides the fact that most of the power plants are running in partial capacities, it was learnt that the affected six facilities were shut down due to either gas shortage, under rehabilitation, technical damage or fire outbreak. The affected plants are Afam IV-V, A.E.S power, ASCO, Omoku, Trans Amadi, and Rivers Independent Power Plant. Besides, Egbin power generation dropped to 693MW due to the shutdown of ST 1for maintenance, and high frequency occasioned by the distribution company’s inability to pick its load allocation. Generation from Ibom Power also reduced to 53.8MW due to guide vane problem, GT 2 maintenance and inability of Port Harcourt Disco to pick load allocation. Geregu was reduced to 188MW due to gas constraints and spinning reserve. Omoku was completely down due to collapsed towers on Omoku/PH mains 132kV transmission line. Two units from Trans Amadi (GT2 and 4) were said to have tripped off due to reversed power, while the other two units (GT1 and 3) were faulty. AES completely lacked gas supply. As the nation’s generation hits 4,652MW, the estimates show that a peak demand of about 14,630 is actually required for Nigeria to enjoy stable supply. This, according to the report, shows that the country is having a shortfall of about 9,978MW to meet national demand. Meanwhile, the Chairman, Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), Sam Amadi, has assured that electricity generation would hit 6000MW by December. Amadi said the commission was working relentlessly to ensure that generation and transmission companies improve on their services by providing adequate power to Nigerians. He linked the problem of electricity in Nigeria to scarcity of gas supply. “We saw in June how generation capacity went as low as 2000MW, but later went up to 4.700MW. “We set a benchmark of at least 5000MW, but today we are at 5000 MW or more, hoping to reach 6000MW before December,” he said. http://www.thejonathanian.com/News/news/newsDetails/89_Electricity-generation-slumps-as-six-power-plants-stop-running Buhari body language has done the worst.

The failure of the APC administration to study the handover notes and continue with the policies of the last administration will come back to haunt them. Imagine, a Publicity secretary coming on National Television to disclose that they could not peruse through or read a large dossier of documents. APC= ILLITERACY. Just like their supporters on this platform, who also have a problem with basic comprehension. Illiterate leadership breeding illiteracy in its people. 4 Likes 1 Share |

It is high time each state/region generate their own power according their own capacity abeg. Rivers States and Lagos state generates enough power to power herself but for the parasitic structure of this country these states has to pass through the pains of directing a particular percentage to the National grid that would be shared by some states that do not generate any megawatts of electricity. True federalism is on my mind. 4 Likes |

The OP and most of his accomplice failed to understand the content of the post. The problem of electricity in this country goes beyond generating the electricity, what is killing the system is transmission. You guys didn't bother to read the load allocation and reversed power issue? |
