The Transmission Company of Nigeria has recorded a new all time high in electricity generation after the country attained 4,656 megawatts (mw) on Wednesday this week, breaking the recent all time high record of 4,545mw attained a few days ago.

The TCN, in a statement released yesterday by the general manager, Public Affairs, Seun Olagunju, noted that the new peak was attained at 10pm on Wednesday, July 15, 2015 and that all generated power has been successfully wheeled by the national grid network.

The electricity transmission company had announced a few days ago that the nation hit a 4,545mw-peak transmission in the national grid on Monday, July 13, 2015, with the previous record peak power transmission of 4,517mw attained on December 23, 2012.

“Power generation and transmission have been above 4,000mw following improvements in gas supply to the generating stations as well as equipment and infrastructure upgrade and enhanced human capacity of system operators,” the company said.

It further assured that it would continue to work at enhancing the capacity to transmit more quality power to the distribution companies.

A lot, however, still needs to be done to meet the electricity demands of the nation, which experts estimate to be around 200,000MW.

i dont like celebrating first to comment.


So i will dedicate it to my frd david freemanan

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

Thats less than what an airport generates in the US. The day i rejoice for electricity in Nigeria is the day i see cobwebs in my generator. Anyway congrat PHCN

Ride on Baba

It rises during rainy season all the time, I hope it remains like this during dry season.

Good development.......but south africa with a population of less than 55m people, generates over 30000mgwts.......i hope we get there one day

Goodluck Jonathan,
Wherever you are, may your days be long like methuselah

past glory

When it was said that gas supply network under GEJ was work in progress, they said it was for campaigns

When the power plants were being commissioned by GEJ, They said he was playing to the gallery

Today, there is improvement in power supply and yet they say its a one month old government without power minister and without direction that is responsible.

Not forgetting the role of increased water levels in our dams.

But nothing to gloat over yet cos if Buhari does not set the direction for the power sector quickly, even the GEJ benefits in this same sector will be lost in no time.

Power sector investors are waiting for the government's plan.... but they can't wait forever.

Illiteracy is worse than corruption.
Nigerians dont care about the process of getting results, they are only impatiently interested in the results and that is why they are most gullible

I'm sure that buhari himself will be surprised about the light

Baba don't worry,
Gej's got your back

Let the saTANist speak now or keep silent forever.

phiszo:
hi

hello

I prefer security to electricity

This is good though

This is a great thing, little by little Nigeria would be great again...I believe in this govt because it is all we have right now and we must support it to make it attain greater heights.

And so?

Buhari's critics....where art thou??

CHANGE!

See talk... No worry National Association of diesel sellers and generator sellers will soon strike. Power will drop to 500mega watt...

The 1st time ever I decided to vote- I knew I didn't waste my thumb-print..


But how come we stil lack power in benin? Or is it not evenly distributed?? I hear say na mama peace buy Benin Electric Distribution company (BEDC) sha...


Whatever, I can feel the change...Buhari, the patriotic Nigerians are solidly behind you..You are stil on point, but please don't let us down..#onenigeria

Congratulations naija, but we never dey see the light ooooo

Let me wait for the wailing wailers to say na d clueless one work nt PMB

Any good thing in PMB it is Gej work

Any negative thing buhari work

Wailing wailers logic cluessless like the man we sent back to otuoke

very soon the results will silence them

Where the tanoids?

you mean to say buhari built a functioning power plant in 30 days
useless sentimental illiterates
mark my words

Nigerians will beg jeg to return

I pray this should continue if we have stable electricity to hell with fuel the last time I bought fuel is 10days ago am bigining to feel the change

before 2019 it will rise to 10000MW what PDP can't do in 16 years
