Punch newspaper today 10th september, 2008

The Management of Power Holding Company of Nigeria Plc has announced a reversal of the current 12-hourly nationwide power rationing arrangement.

In a statement on Tuesday the PHCN said rotational rationing from 12 midnight to 12 noon and 12 noon to 12 midnight, the schedule will be reversed starting from Thursday September 11, 2008.

The statement said, “Zones that had hitherto enjoyed power supply predominantly in the day time would now have it at night and vice-versa. This is to ensure even distribution of the limited generation out-put from functioning power plants.

“While Management sincerely thank its esteemed customers for their understanding and co-operation since the commencement of the nationwide 12-hourly zonal power rotational rationing on July 4, 2008, it re-assures that everything possible is being done to sustain the improvement in power supply.”

Recent estimate indicate that power supply have risen above the 3,000 megawatts mark largely on account of improved water sypply to the hrdro stations.
