TCN Blames Low Power Generation On Gas Supply Constraints

The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has expressed concern over a gradual drop in power generation into the national grid, saying it was due to low gas supply to the thermal generating companies.
TCN’s general manager, Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah,said that the development has impacted the quantum of bulk power available on the transmission grid for onward transmission to the distribution load centers nationwide.
The Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI) currently operates the on-grid generation of 80 per cent thermal and 20 per cent hydro power plants.
