Nigeria’s power supply slumps to all time low of 86.2mw

Nigerian electricity generating companies rolled out a paltry 86,243.1MWh of energy on Monday, representing a 0.3% decline compared to 86,508.2MWh supplied the previous day.

This is according to information from the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN).

Similarly, energy generation declined by 0.3% to 87.58kMWh from 87.81kMWh recorded on Sunday, May 8, falling further below the minimum 105kMWh required to record some level of stability in power supply in the country.

Meanwhile, Nigerians continue to grapple with epileptic power supply, with multiple grid disruptions recorded so far in 2022, causing widespread blackouts across the country.

The highest frequency for the day was 50.94Hz, while the lowest frequency was 49.36Hz. Also, 98.47% of the energy generated on Sunday was supplied to DisCos.

The Minister of Power, Abubakar Aliyu, during an interactive session on “Frequent National Grid collapse” with the Senate Committee on Power and critical stakeholders, said the ministry is working towards reliable power grid to ensure efficient electricity supply in the country.
