Power supply drops to 2,869MW

FEBRUARY 12, 2015 BY ‘FEMI ASU

Power supply from the national grid to households and businesses in the country slumped to 2,869.84 megawatts on Tuesday, exactly a month after it fell to 2,502.39MW.

Power generation tumbled to 2,936.83MW on February 10, while peak generation on that day was 3,913.20MW, according to data obtained from the Presidential Task Force on Power on Wednesday.

According to the Federal Ministry of Power, generation as of February 8 was 3,407.28MW, while 3,333.33MW was sent out.

Power generation and supply in the country have dipped below the 3,000MW mark for at least three times in the past one month.

On January 11, 2015, generation fell to 2,502.39MW, while 2,449.04MW was sent out, according to data obtained from the PTFP. Generation fell to 2,948.45MW on January 6, while 2,880.31MW was sent out.

The downturn in power generation then was attributed to the sabotage of the Trans-Forcados Pipeline, which supplies gas to several power plants in the country.

The quantum of electricity available for distribution to various classes of consumers as of December 29, 2014 was 4,112.29MW out of the 4,389.7MW generated, according to the ministry.

The country achieved the highest peak generation of 4,517.6MW of electricity on December 23, 2012.

Ah ah, I am confused. But I thought Bayelsa has been enjoying 24hrs light since 2009 . . .

I find all of the currency, and power supply issues Nigeria is having very funny at the moment because they seem to have intensified during election season. For someone to tell me this is by accident would be comedy in it's self. APC needs to relax.

Its true. Yesterday night I saw Tinubu sneaking out Egbin power station with 500 megawatts hidden in his agbada. These APC crooks will do anything to make GEJ's government look ineffective and useless. Shame on them!

GEJ till Nigeria has run down finally.

Good and bad. If there is light , people won't buy power banks from me, now there is no light, people are buying power banks. what do you think my prayer on Nigerian electricity would be .

Buhari has also apparently dried up the water in kanji dam so no power from there.

LOL, you people are funny. When last did you see one week of constant light with no generator in Nigeria? Or are you one of those special people who live in Bayelsa?

I like your humour. By the time Nigeria is brought to stand-still in every sector, then they will know GEJ has to go.

Let them keep blaming APC for their woes & ineptitude.
