Power sector records new all-time peak of 5,420.30mw

Eight power plants idle, generation tumbles to 2,983MW

The Nigerian Power industry has achieved yet another improved all-time national peak of 5,420.30MW, which was effectively transmitted through the national grid at a frequency of 50.10Hz at 9:15 pm, August 18, 2020.

Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), General Manager, (Public Affairs), Ndidi Mbah disclosed this in a statement Thursday.

TCN said this is the highest ever recorded in the nation’s power sector to-date, surpassing the previous peak of 5,377.80MW recorded on the 1st of August, 2020, by 42.50MW.

According to the company, the gradual but steady improvement in electricity delivery in the nation’s power sector is attributable to the keen interest of the current administration of President Muhammadu Buhari in piloting programmes and projects geared towards growing the power sector as well as the collective effort of all power sector players in the value chain.
