Frequent power outages caused by decreased gas supply: TCN
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has attributed the gradual decrease in available generation into the grid to gas constraints by the thermal generating companies.
It also said the decrease has impacted the quantum of bulk power available on the transmission grid for onward transmission to the distribution load centres nationwide.
TCN general manager spokeswoman Ndidi Mbah disclosed this in a statement on Thursday.
According to her, the company is doing everything possible to collaborate with stakeholders in the power sector.
She said this was to ensure that it continues to keep the grid intact despite the current low power generated into the system.
”Consequent upon the current load on the grid, load distributed to the distribution load centres has also reduced, as TCN can only transmit what is generated.
”TCN is committed to ensuring a gradual increase in electricity supply to load centres as gas improves to power available thermal plants.
”Please, bear with us as we continue to work with the stakeholders in the value chain to ensure that supply through distribution companies to electricity consumers nationwide improves,” she said.
