A full system collapse occurred yesterday evening at 6.00 pm when the country power generation recorded zero MW power supply which resulted in total blackout, with average power generation crashing to 1, 618 megawatts hour (MWH), down from 2, 904 MWh generated just before the system collapsed dropping generation to zero megawatts.

This has been one of the worse performing week for the power sector as multiple system collapse were recorded this week, information obtained by Energywatchng from System Operators a branch of Transmission company of Nigeria (TCN) shows that generation level collapse to 10MW on the Sunday, 15th January. Moreover, another system collapse occurred on Monday, 16th were generation dropped to 108MW, same system collapse occurred on Wednesday when generation dropped to 42MW. However, the daily operational report from the Nigeria Electricity System Operator, an arm of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), showed that nine electricity generation companies, GENCOs, sent out zero electricity to the grid.

The nine GENCOs are Gbarain, Rivers Independent Power Project, IPP, Trans Amadi, ASCO, and A.E.S. Others are Olorunsogo IPP, Ibom, Gerugu NIPP and Afam IV- V. In 2016, a similar incidence of total systems collapse happened 16 times.


“The huge debts owed for gas, and recent attacks of gas facilities are limiting supply to the power plants. For instance, an oil/gas pipeline facility blew up this week in Ughelli, Delta State and it connects critical Generation Companies (GenCos) like Ughelli, Sapele, Benin GenCos,” the official said.

This is beautiful. Those elements that enjoys hunger and power shortage so as to spite Buhari and massage their demonic wish of Buhari's failure can come in here now and wail to the high heavens! you are happy when a bomb goes off on a pipe or gas line, yet you want power and a booming economy. Una never see anything, bypass metres, blow pipelines, then come here and wail .
The Escobars!

Incompetent leadership of lying hypocrites.

Nigeria has been rolled back 180 degrees by their change.

Nigeria can never make any meaningful progress in a democracy. Mark my words.

Will the National Assembly make an inquiry into this? Doubtful.

They are busy fighting among themselves why the president sent troops to the Gambia without their approval.

They all have automated generating plants in their residences so, no harm no foul.

No light and When Generator is used to pump water, my neighbor ends up using the water to wash his car that he doesn't drive to anywhere. Please how do I stop him from using the water

Asides from gas, aren't there other means to generate electricity abi power?

I want to hear Good news please.....

Buhari breaking his own world record of generating 0mw of electricity. But some people would rather blame Niger Deltans like gas line bombings only started yesterday.

Its not our fault you don't have gas lines to blow. Must you live off the Niger Delta?

Yes a bloody coup that would send BUBU to the world beyond

aha u cant stop him na,and besides is it only u dat does the pumping?

OBJ - $16 billion
GEJ - $8.5 billion
PMB - ??

Total = $24.5+ billion

Yet we still have about the most epileptic power capacity globally with maximum generation ever achieved being 5075mw. Which way Nigeria?

chriskosherbal:
I want to hear Good news please.....

But BUBU is BAD news,unless he goes bad news would continue to flow.

Airforce1:
Its unfortunate that after all the trillions spent on electricity, no positive results.

for 4 days now ive been running generator yet this NEPA people expects me to pay bill for this month.

Buhari is currently enjoying 24hrs power supply in London while his country is in total darkness.

Come 2019, I will right my wrong.

We must right that wrong IJN

I have never experienced poor electricity like this before

Light full everywhere for UYO and pH dunno wat u saying

idupaul:


We must right that wrong IJN

You tried to right thw wrong in 2015 by voting GEJ right?
