It has been learnt that the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI) shed 410.80MW in 24 hours – between November 5 and November 6, 2022.
The drop in generation emanated from the drop in the number of power plants that supplied electricity.
Whereas 24 power generating companies produced 4,65.22MW the previous day (Saturday), only 19 plants operated and generated 3,965.10MW.
This information was contained in the “List of GenCos and their MW Load @ 07hrs on 05/11/2022,” and “List of GenCos and their MW Load @ 07 hrs on 06/11/2022,” that The Nation obtained yesterday in Abuja.
Besides technical constraints, the quantity of power generation is always a factor of energy nominated from the Distribution Companies (DisCos).
The Nigerian System Operator (SO) of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), which generated the data, also said as at 7 a.m yesterday, Afam IV & Victor (Gas) with two units generated 80MW; Afam IV (Gas Steam) produced 0MW with four units; Aloaji NIPP (Steam) produced 90MW with one unit; while Azura-Edo IPP (Gas) produced 440MW with three units.
