The electricity produced in Nigeria is now less than 3, 697 MW.

This against the peak of 5,074 MW achieved early February.

The crumbling output is what is being blamed by distribution companies for the prolonged blackout countrywide.

The embarrassed companies woke up today to tender apologies over the blackout.

The Eko Electricity Distribution Plc first issued a statement this morning, offering an explanation to its consumers. And now the Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO) has also appealed to its consumers to exercise patience over the drop in power allocation.

This is contained in a statement signed by the Public Relations Officer of the company, Muhammad Kandi and issued to newsmen in Kano on Saturday.

It said that current generation profile had descended to less than 3, 697 MW against the peak of 5, 074 MW achieved earlier in February.

“The Management of KEDCO hereby calls on all its customers not to panic as concerned authorities in the sector are working assiduously to address the problem”, the statement said.

The statement quoted the company’s Chief Technical Officer, David Omoloye as attributing the situation to poor gas supply to generation companies (GenCos) in the country.

“The DisCos are disturbed in the face of the current low power allocation.

“We want all power consumers including the organised labour and members of the media to help disseminate accurate information so as to create positive understanding of the power sector value chain.

“Last week Kano DisCo only received an average of 140 MW daily and this is inconsistent compared to the recent development in our daily allocation.

“This week, the situation became even worse, giving us little or no choice than to drop load as directed by the National Control Centre (NCC) to stabilise the system and thereby leading to load rationing”, it stated.

The statement assured customers that the companies were working to restore power supply to meet customers’ satisfaction..

Eyah! until we decentralize power generation and reduce corruption, we will still remain where we are

Who is Buhari and his Yorubas APC deceiving
After shouting Decentralization of Electricity in their opposition days, they have refused to do so now they are in power and still expect the problem solved

I'm beginning to wonder if our power sector has any mekwatalism. i don't ask me what is mekwatalism

change indeed

Someone you send this news to the president email so he can be aware enough of this rising and falling

Discos are doing this intentionally,they are not buying gas anymore ever since the senate stopped the increament
We had light for 7 months straight until the senate stopped the increament
now we hardly get 3hours daily

And the all d Zombies would say Buhari has done it again!!

If it goes down to 1500MW they would still shout allahu akbar Buhari is the best!!

During GEJ era this time last year it was 4300MW Feb 2015, ,,,,,,..

Zombies are just pathetic

Lol

In my home in Woji Estate, PH, we still have up to 16 hours light everyday. The least we can have is about 10hrs light.

Power situation as of recent has been abysmal to say the least and to cap it all, mother nature has cursed us with unbearable heatwave at the worst time ever.

Is That Why Ikedc Have Reduce The Time They Give Us Power Supply?

Every spirit of rising and falling in this government is cursed
