The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), has attributed the decrease in available generation into the grid to gas constraints to the thermal generating companies.
TCN’S General Manager, Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, said this in a statement on Thursday.
The TCN said the decrease has impacted the quantum of bulk power available on the transmission grid for onward transmission to the distribution load centres nationwide.
The statement quoted the management to have said it is doing everything possible in collaborating with stakeholders in the power sector, adding that this is to ensure that it continues to keep the grid intact in spite of the current low power generated into the system.
”Consequent upon the current load on the grid, load distributed to the distribution load centres have 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,” it added.
