Power sector recovery back on track — FG
Government of Nigeria, on Wednesday, announced to the country that the effort to improve power supply across the country was back on track, after about two months of challenges that led to the collapse of the national grid thrice within a month.
The government said it expected the grid to deliver a minimum of 4,500 Megawatts of power daily.
However, checks by Vanguard on grid supply as at 1 pm yesterday, showed that 17 generation plants were delivering 3,072MW to the grid, with Azura-Edo (393MW), Geregu Gas (390MW), Jebba Hydro (328MW), Egbin (317MW) and Kainji Hydro (303MW) among the top generators.
Speaking at a Power Sector Recovery Programme, PSRP, workshop for journalists in Abuja, Chairman of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, Sanusi Garba, said consumers would soon begin to see changes in electricity supply.
