Nigeria’s generated electricity has dropped to 2,919MW, after the Nigerian Gas Company (NGC) reported a cut in gas supply to 3 key power plants in the country.
 
The emergency maintenance the gas supply company carried out on the pipeline supplying gas to Egbin, Omotosho, Olorunsogo and Papalanto power stations, resulted in a reduced power generation in the national grid from about 3,231 MW last Wednesday to 2,919MW.
TCN also reported a system collapse, which cut electricity generation from about 4,338.9 MW as at April 20. According to Nigeria electricity system operator, an arm of the TCN, the collapse was the sixth recorded since the year began.
Nigeria’s generated electricity drops further to 2,919MW, as the gas supply company was forced to carry out maintenance after a leakage was discovered on the Escravos-Lagos pipeline system. The General Manager Public Affairs of TCN, Ndidi Mbah, said prior to the incident, Omotosho and Olorunsogo national independent power plants were already out of operation due to gas supply issues. Mrs Mbah said the NGC tried to repair the leakage on the gas pipeline to restore normal gas supply to the affected power plants.

“At the moment, repairs have been completed and the pipeline is currently being pressurised prior to the resumption of gas supply to the affected power stations,” Mrs Mbah said.📎 🤔COMMENT BELOW... CRITIC ALSO 🖋️ 📜 🗺️ 😂 ... spill TEA ☕ Easy on Shade 💣 COMMENT BELOW... CRITIC ALSO 🇳🇬 #jaiyeorie 🗺️
