Power generation in Nigeria lost 1,108MW in seven days, leaving the country with just 3,456 megawatts since Tuesday. 

A new report obtained by Punch, showed that the total power generation dropped from 4,564.60MW as of 6.00am on February 19 to 3,456.20MW on February 24, a day after the presidential and National Assembly elections. It however stood at 4,358MW as of 6.00 am on Saturday.

Data from the Nigeria Electricity System Operator, an arm of the Transmission Company of Nigeria, showed that generation fell further to 3,456.60MW as of 6.00 am on February 26.

The system operator put the nation’s installed generation capacity at 12,910.40MW; available capacity at 7,652.60MW; transmission wheeling capacity at 8,100MW; and the peak generation ever attained at 5,375MW.

The nation generates most of its electricity from gas-fired power plants, while output from hydropower plants makes up about 30 per cent of the total.

My observation and advise to the PDP governors and other opposition parties going for the forthcoming governorship election,if they don’t suppose Atiku to fight against this Evil electoral frauds the APC perpetrated,I don’t seeing any of them winning the forth coming governorship election,because what happened on the just concluded Presidential elections will be just an iceberg,earlier the best that they,all opposition parties should protects against it now,Atiku speech says it all,he is not fighting for himself but for what APC will perpetrate on the forthcoming governorship election,it’s rigging will be father of all rigging so let all fight against it earlier before the time.

Always lossing and gaining.

I thought they said they are generating 7500 mw but only distributing about 5000?

From this figures they are only generating a little above 4600mw before the drop

We need to increase generation and improve transmission.

And that cannot be done on bills less than 4000 on meter, 10000-20000 estimated.

Let's be honest, the laws governing the establishment of the DISCOS force them to charge below the production price of power...meaning they cannot pay the GENCOS adequately and the GENCOS cannot pay enough for gas.

And in my opinion, we need a sum far higher than our national budget to get to 24/7 electricity. Somewhere between $300-900bn. (Our reserve is $40bn.)

Fashola said 5 years ago that 24/7 power was not rocket science. The man should by now see how severe the problem is.

So either power bills go up ,or we take a loan, a hefty loan. Ghana has 24/7 light...because their power bills are higher than ours. Time we faced the reality.

I will not stop reporting anyone that post fix game here.. It scam post it I will remove it from front page

This Fashola man sef. He has been at FMPWH for almost four years now with nothing to show for it.

Next level o jare. The suffer just dey begin.

Naija power sha.


The last time I heard there was an increase, I no get light for days.

Now that there is a decrease, I dey beg NEPA make den take the light so that den restore am soon.

Power generation keeps fluctuating like NEPA light that it is. With all the billions of dollars spent, no meaningful result. A population of almost 200 million people, battling with less than 5,000 megawatts. Hope the next level will put power as number one priority.

Nah PDP crew in the power sector do am..
They are bunch of saboteurs

This is just a page of the next level.Next level is when it drops to -1000MW

Eeeeeyaaaah

Forget PDP, even APC.

The reality is that we need to face facts and realise that the problem needs trillions of naira to fix.

Not billions.

Next level!

Sai baba!

Despite the loss, what is remaining is still more than what your party the PDP left after 16 wasted years and $16 billion squandered on power. Power generation has always been flunctuating as a result of varying indices like water level for hydro-power stations, gas availability for gas powered stations, sun intencity gor solar stations, e.t.c. So, power generation does not stay stand stlled. Prove me wrong with facts you wailer.
