The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has disclosed that Nigeria has for the first time in the history of her electricity generation profile, generated about 5,074 megawatts (MW) of electricity.

The TCN, through its System Operator department, announced this new milestone on Wednesday in Abuja.

It stated in a statement from its Deputy General Manager, Public Affairs, Clement Ezeolisah, that it was pleased to announce the attainment of the new record peak generation of 5,074.7MW as well as the highest maximum daily energy of 109,372 megawatts hour (MWH) which it transmitted across to electricity distribution companies in the country.

The new marks were attained on February 2, 2016, the TCN explained, adding that it happened at 9.30p.m.

“The System Operator, TCN, is pleased to announce the attainment of a new record peak generation of 5,074.7MW and also the highest maximum daily energy wheeled nationwide of 109,372MWH on February 2, 2016,” the statement said.

It further stated that: “The new peak generation of 5,074.7MW was attained at 9.30p.m. on February 2, 2016. While the previous peak generation was 4883.9MW achieved on November 23, 2015, the previous highest maximum daily energy wheeled nationwide was 107,142.32MWH recorded on January 26, 2016.”

It also quoted the Managing Director, System Operation/Market Operation of TCN, Mr. Dipak Sarma, to have attributed the twin peak achievements to the enhanced cooperation among all the power sector stakeholders and concerted efforts by system operators at the National Control Centre (NCC) Osogbo and other stations to ensure that all generated power is wheeled to the distribution companies and that there is no stranded power.

Sarma in a telephone conversation with THISDAY on the development, explained that all the 5074.7MW generated electricity is transmitted to the 11 electricity distribution companies.

He said the TCN would not have been able to transmit the entire volume if distribution companies were rejecting load allocation, adding that an additional 68MW volume is also now reserved as spinning reserve to jump-start the system in case of any disruptions.

FTC!!!! More power to my Internet connection just like more power to Nigeria

Great!

Congrats to patriotic citizens who understood that the Ineffectual Buffoon was not an option in the last election. If not, Nigeria would have been put up for sale as we speak.

Watch wailers and IPODs come here to shout "propaganda" as if they've been permanently programmed to be deaf, dumb and daft at the same time.

That's good news

5000 what?

I no get light for my hood for like 3 days now..

E go soon reach you.

For my own area, it's been a different story for many months now.

PMB is not a sitting duck.

Generating peak huh?

5,000 is nothing to celebrate abeg, we can celebrate when we hit 30,000MW and I can throw away my powerbanks.

For now, a pat on the back and "go and improve" is enough

Good.
God bless PMB/PYO
God bless Fashola
God bless Nigeria.

Op you can continue clowning

Its obvious,cos for the past 3days our light hasn't gone off,even thou we are on 33kva line which makes the power supply in my area stable,but we have never had uninterupted power supply for three straight days before..Thumbs up to the FG and the Power stakeholders..
Its still a pity that we are celebrating a meagre 5000mw power supply as a Nation,but we will get there.I believe Fashola and this present Govt will really bring smiles to the faces of Nigerians with steady Power supply before the end of this Govt's tenure.

I was going to create a thread about the serious improvement in power for the past 2weeks....
Now i can understand.

I am sure many will keep wailing and keep lying that they have no light even when they have.

I have been at my parents house for the past 2 days now and its been about 16-18hrs supply of light. Right now there is light

Fashola and many of his Buhari's ministers will turn things around. Sai baba...

I don't know what you guys are saying o! But here at ijegun we have 2 days ON 1 day OFF. However for those 2 days we're ON we don't get 12 hours power.

Tho not there yet but this is a good way to start. For the past 2 weeks now or more than, the light has been wonderful here.
Kudos to all those involved.

When you see known wailers viewing this kind of thread and passing without commenting, then you know that they feel saddened by the good news.

Why will some people just decide to be sadistic just because of election loss? Why will news that should naturally make sane persons happy cause sadness if not that something is genetically wrong with them?

Where are the wailers? Can you see what we meant when we said they are against the progress of Nigeria?

Chaaai... Power improved drastically after Buhari took over, wailers said it was because the dams were full from the rains.
Now, the country's power generation has hit a new peak, despite gas / pipeline vandalism and sabotage efforts from enemies of progress....

I am waiting for what they will attribute this new feat to..... Maybe they will say it is harmattan dust.

Since king Bubu enter my company have reduced spendings on diesel due to improve electricity.

We power our Generator on almost 18 hours daily and order for one tanker of diesel every 3weeks but now things have changed our diesel suppliers re begging us to order since 2months now.

Anybody living around ikoyi,parkview estate,banana island and lekki phase 1can testify to this

Nice and we are still in dry season .....though I still run gen

This is a good development....

I believe we haven't attain our best yet...... our best is yet to come......

We will definitely get there this time around......
