Nigeria’s electricity supply improves by 0.22% as grid resumes operation

Electricity supply in Nigeria improved marginally on Thursday by 0.22% to 90,679.87MWh compared to 90,480.67MWh recorded in the previous day, representing the fifth consecutive rise in daily electricity supply in the country.

This is according to data from the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN).

Energy generated also recorded a similar increase as it rose to 91,710.44MWh on Thursday, which is 0.24% higher than the 91,493.17MWh generated on Wednesday.

A further look at the data showed that energy generation peaked at 3,940MW on Thursday, 0.36% lower than 3,954MW recorded during the previous day, while off-generation also declined by 2.53% to 3,463.6MW

Power generation and supply has seen improvements in the past five days, as the TCN restored the affected grids, which caused blackouts in some areas of the country over the weekend.

Despite the improvement in energy supply and generation is still way below desired levels as Nigeria requires at least 105,000MWh of daily supply.
