Nigeria’s electricity generation has risen to 3,504.9MW on Tuesday, while off-peak was 2,903.4MW. Notably, 98.63% of the generated energy in the day under review was sent out to Distributing Companies.
Similarly, the energy supply increased by 2.2% on Tuesday from 75,197.46MWh sent out by the generating companies on Monday to 76,851.08MWh.
Power generation and supply had declined by 15.7% last week Saturday, falling to its lowest levels since 9th April 2022. Energy generation averaged at 76,983.67MWh between the 29th of May and the 4th of June 2022, lower than the average 86,336.55MWh recorded in the previous week.
Nigeria’s energy generation and supply continue to remain below the minimum 105,000MWh required to record some level of stability in power supply in the country. Nigerians continue to grapple with epileptic power supply as a result of disruptions at the national grip and inability to operate at full capacity.
The Ministry of Power through a statement issued and signed by the Special Assistant to the Minister of Power on Media, Malam Sanusi on Saturday, attributed the recent electricity dip to the partial shutdown of the Obem gas plant.
