The System Operator (SO) of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) noted that were there no constraints, the electricity market would have supplied 7,562Mw to distribution companies (Discos) but the gas and line challenges keep holding down the power sector.
The minister’s concern is sequel to the rising spate of electrocutions cases, especially as recently reported on locations in Eko and Abuja Discos, although the families were compensated in record time.
“The projects to be completed by NPDC will improve gas supply to power plants over the next few months through September 30 2016 and it is estimated that the increase in gas supply to power plants will increase generation capacity by approximately 2000 MW by the middle of 2017,” said Hakeem Bello, special adviser to the minister on communications
