Shortage Of Gas Mars Power Generation by simongonner: 7:18am On Apr 23, 2015 |
The sharp drop in power generation from 3,000 megawatts to about 2,988.72MW, has been attributed to low supply of gas to generation companies, Vanguard has learnt According to a source in the Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, “The issue with the drop in the megawatts can be attributed to the generation and distorted supply of gas, we have been experiencing for some time now. However, “Most of the country’s thermal and hydro- power plants are dependent on gas for optimum performance to meet the Nigerians’ demands for robust power supply.” In the last four weeks, Vanguard learnt that there has been massive decline in the power supply in some parts of Lagos. Some of the areas affected include, Ajegunle, Ijesa, Oko-afo, Ile-Ipo, Ojo (all areas in Badagry road), Comfort Oboh, Kirikiri town.
