Nigerians are at risk of epileptic power supply as Christmas approach as the national grid collapsed again.
Nine of the nation’s 26 power plants did not generate any megawatts of electricity on Wednesday, coupled with significant reduction in the generation from two of the hydropower plants and several others.
The Shiroro Power Station in Niger State and Jebba Power Station in Kwara State saw their output fall to 300MW and 381MW, respectively, down from 450MW and 476MW on Friday, according to industry data obtained by PUNCH
The total national power generation fell to 3,251MW as of 6am on Wednesday, down from 3,574.2MW on Monday, November 28.
The power plants that were idle include:
Olorunsogo II in Ogun State
Ibom Power in Cross River.
Afam IV & V,
Odukpani NIPP,
Trans-Amadi,
AES,
ASCO and
Gbarain.
Olorunsogo’s units GT1, 2, 3, 4 and ST2 were said to be out due to gas constraints, while ST1 was out on maintenance.
