About 16 power turbines generators have in the last one week become functional and pushed up electricity generation from a little above 3,000 megawatts recorded earlier this month to 4,652.70 MW, total energy sent out was 94, 010.10 MWH on February 19, 2017 with no incident of system collapse recorded.

Findings showed that since the 16 turbines of the various power plants across the country began to function, electricity generation had stabilised at over 4,000MW since February 13, 2017 rising to 4, 652.70 MW on February 19.

While officials of the Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing attributed the development to the recent improvement in gas supply to the power plants, data from the sector obtained by Energywatchng on Monday revealed that since the country crossed the 4,043.7 MW mark on February 13, electricity generation had continue to rise.

Industry data showed that on February 19, three power generation plants, Transcorp, Omotosho I and Olorunsogo I, gained additional turbine functionality, while the average power sent out by the generation companies on the day was 3,917MWhour/hour.

Two days earlier, Afam VI and Olorunsogo I recorded functionality in additional turbines and the average power sent out was put at 3,833MWh/hour.

On February 16, Trancorp Ughelli Power reported that it recorded functionality in 10 of its turbines, while the average power sent out by the Gencos was 3,929MWh/hour.

Similarly, the Alaoji NIPP, Ihovbor NIPP, Okpai and Ibom restored additional turbines to functionality on February 15, and the average power sent out by the generation companies on the day was 3,799MWh/hour.

It should be noted that the quantum of power generated is different from the amount sent out by the Gencos, as some fraction is either lost through line constraints or left as spinning reserves.

The National Control Centre for the power sector had on February 14, 2017 declared that “improvements in domestic gas supply has resulted in lower gas constraints.”

Correct.

No wonder,since yesterday we get lite wch has neva hpnd b4, i trust fashola good news

Wake me up when Nigeria has generated electricity that is well above 10,000MW.

Common South Africa generates over 20,000MW and we are here celebrating less than 5000MW

Shame

This surely good news. We are not where we want to be/ought to be but with time we will get there.

If only the parents of those who are in the habit of destruction pipelines and electric connections can call their children to order. If only.

Feeling the impact over here. We've had light non-stop for over 48 hours here.

yeye dey smell

ok

Make this light reach us for asese and mower ogun state...fashola i deh beg for 5 years now no light

LET IT BE TRUE OOO

No wonder since last week light don dey improve.


No be say by next month now, person go hear say the turbine don spoil,

Too low

Hmmmmmmm. And light dey do anyhow for this my area.

Sad news for wailers.

Infact they will say it is a propaganda but if the news said 16 power turbines shut down, they believe instantly.

Na win win for wailers.

Fashola is working
Buhari is working
Oshibajo is working
Nigeria is moving forward
Lalasticlala is busy with snakes
Power is wasting here cus it has been on for over 72 hours..
Nigeria must move forward.

Really? Well sincerely typing,Light has not improved one bit Here

Could this be due to Bubu's absence?
