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.

Buhari body language has done the worst. Issorite

H

Foohari d foolish cow body language at work.

Bubu the king of the North
Who knws hw his body language is faring

Pdp witches at work.




Holy ghost fire!

Buhari's body language has shut down those machines



I hope Buhari is not jealous of GEJ's achievement in power

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.

In Buhari's voice, 'Nigerians will soon feel the CHANGE I promised them' Sai Baba, kai walahi.....Nigerians mumu no be small, for them to believe that an old man like me from Hausaland in Daura can change Nigeria for good.

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.

True federalism doesn't mean u will acquire FGs properties. Lagos state govt doesnt own any power plant except the glorified generator comissioned by fashola. the only private power plant is geometric power Aba. the rest are FGs properties, later privatized under Jonathan

And could you please tell me where the FG get their source of income and generate revenues?

The FG has been collecting from the states and give them back peanuts.

AES was/is a Tinubu project. It was supposed to supply power to Lagos but OBJ didn't allow.

hmm, may God take over the affairs of Nigeria.

One of the useless nairalander at work.
Anyway na for your area be that cos we are still celebrating about 160hrs of uninterrupted power supply here.

Why hasn't Bubu's body odour swung to action yet??
