On-going Severe Power Outage To Last Till July-prof. Barth Nnaji by czay(m): 9:37pm On Apr 02, 2012 |
The enduring power outage experienced across the country is expected to last till July when the nation’s dams will have accumulated more water needed for more power generation. This was revealed by the Minister of Power, Professor Barth Nnaji at a press briefing on Monday in Abuja, where he blamed the limited amount of rainfall last year and the shortage of gas supplied to the gas plants, as the major cause for the outages, which will still last for the next three months. According to the Minister “a number of the gas power plants have gas constraints, gas limitation; some are not getting at all”, adding that “we don’t want to blame gas as the only reason why we have power problem in the last three weeks because of limited rain last year. The black flood did not really arrive; as a result we have severe shortage with water.” Professor Nnaji also stated that “we have had to really be careful about how water is managed within the hydro- plants such as Kanji Jebba and Shiroro dams.” He also explained that the power plant at Shiroro dam, is presently working for three hours due to the low level of water from the Shiroro dam. “Power is shut down for most of the day except from 7 to like 10’O clock.” “That is when power is available” he quipped. This he affirmed “will continue to be so until July when we will have the black flood” he stated. Professor Nnaji also revealed that the plants are undergoing reconstruction to ensure maximum capacity and he also announced structural adjustments in the management of major power distribution and transmission companies in the country. http://www.channelstv.com/home/2012/04/02/on-going-severe-power-outage-to-last-till-july/?utm_source=&utm_medium=twitter |
