The power sector has recorded yet another national peak generation of 5,520.40 megawatts (MW), two days after the previous record.
The latest record was attained on October 30, 2020 at 9.15pm, said a statement from the General Manager, Public Affairs of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), Mrs Ndidi Mbah, on Saturday.
It said the current national grid highest power generation record has surpassed the previous 5.459MW recorded on October 28 by 60.90MW.
The new national peak is a result of continued collaboration among players and the gradual increase in capacity in the power sector.
With the current capacity of 8,100MW, TCN said it seamlessly transmitted the new peak at a frequency of 50.11 hertz. through the nation’s grid.
As players in the power sector value chain continue to work together to improve the nation’s power supply, TCN further implored Nigerians to help protect power infrastructure nationwide.
It also appealed that they should desist from bush burning or burning of trash beside transmission towers or under power line cables nationwide.
