By Sebastine Obasi Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, yesterday wheeled out about 4,009 megawatts of generated electricity to 11 distribution companies, creating an indication that the country’s power supply is gradually stabilising. Daily power statistics from Nigerian Electricity System Operator, a section of the Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, shows that power generation gradually improved during the last Christmas season with a peak generation of 4,208.3 megawatts from the national grid, with a record of 3,366 megawatts as its lowest within the same period. Meanwhile, the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry, NESI, on January 3, disclosed that over N534 billion of revenue was lost by the power sector in 2016. Among the reasons for the loss were shortages in gas supply, frequency and line limitations and water levels management constraints that led to several cases of electricity outage in the country. NESI, which put the average daily revenue loss at N1.5 billion, said gas constraint remained one of the major challenges facing the electricity sector. It said that N534 billion was the value of electricity lost on account of the challenges, part of which could have been used to bridge the liquidity gap in the power sector, estimated at N1trillion. Already, the sector is finding it difficult to access more loans from Nigerian banks due to their inability to meet the payment obligations for previous borrowings. The situation will also affect the capacity of the power firms to improve on electricity supply to consumers for domestic and industrial uses. NESI said in its daily statistics on energy losses that the industry lost N1.525 billion on December 24, 2016 alone. It also disclosed that about 12 power stations could not produce electricity during off-peak period under the review. Statistics from the National Control Centre, Osogbo, showed that Afam IV-V, Geregu Gas, Alaoji National Integrated Power Project, NIPP and Olorunsogo Gas plants could not produce a single megawatt, MW, on December 25, 2016. Others that could not produce a single megawatt (MW) on Dec. 25, 2016 include Odukpani NIPP, Okpai, Ibom Power, ASCO, AES, Omoku, Rivers NIPP and Gbarain power plants. Nigeria has installed power output of 11,165MW, of which the 12 plants have a combined capacity of 2,035MW. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/01/electricity-generation-hits-4009mw-improves-gradually/ 1 Like |

4,000MW smack in the middle of the dry season? It is either this is false or something else is at play we dont know about. But then, Nigerian media; they leave out the important parts 7 Likes 1 Share |

I was told NEPA was privatized and changed its name to PHCN by investors. We now have 3 different entities namely Generation, Transmission and Distribution Companies. Over #200 billion is budgeted for Power/Energy this year alone by the Bubu administration. Since the sector has been privatized, why is the Federal Government spending huge amount of money on a sector already privatized? Abi na me no go school to know the meaning of PRIVATIZATION ni? It's just like the Federal Government spending money on the Telecommunications industry. Providing upgradation to MTN, GLO, Etisalat etc systems. Since OBJ era, we are still struggling to achieve 6,000MW of Electricity while South Africa could boast of 40,000MW. Shame on all our past and present leaders. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Film trick. The more things change , the more they remain the same in this country. Our leaders are always on default lying mode. Haven't Nigerians celebrated 'improved electricity' before and then it goes back to square one. The $16 billion Obj sank in that sector was enough to build 40,000 megawatts, but no, this country is a basket case, always leaking. Yar'adua did his own , handed over to Jonathan who also spent billions of dollars to throw us deeper into darkness. It is dumb for a country of 170 million people to celebrate 4,000 megawatts while a country like south Africa, less than 50 million, has over 40,000 megawatts. These days I don't believe anything government says until I see with my korokoro eyes. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

It isn't good enough....and we still have to replace that transmission system....and generate more. A big country like Nigeria should be generating 60000-70000MW by now. And we should have at least more investment in solar, nuclear , geothermal and waste powered facilities for our electricity supply. At the same time, Nigerians need to pay their electricity bills. We cannot be refusing to pay our bills, bypassing meter...and be putting pressure on the few millions of Nigerians who actually pay their bills...and do not get enough service at all. Of course, they would be angry. And to butress my last point....I leave you with this analysis by a fellow Nairalander. Note the bolded.... Paentera: 6 Likes |
