Nigeria has managed to attain electricity generation and supply of 3,686.3MW after several months of blackout occasioned by cut in gas supply to power plants.
It was gathered that the improvement in power supply is as a result of high water level at dams, which enabled the three hydro power plants namely, Jebba (360mw), Shiroro (600mw) and Kanji (440mw) to operate at optimal capacity.
This, notwithstanding, the country’s unutilised power generation due to gas constraint stood at 4,517mw, as at yesterday.
Data from the current daily operational report of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), yesterday, showed, Kainji Hydro with 440mw installed capacity is currently generating 305mw, Jebba with installed capacity of 360mw is working at full capacity. Shiroro with installed capacity of 600mw is generating about 560mw.
Other power plants, which have also contributed significantly to the rise in electricity, are Egbin Steam. With installed capacity of 880mw, it is contributing 407mw. Sapele is generating at full capacity.

Though, the country’s installed capacity stands at 11,165.40mw, the network operational capability remained 5,500mw while peak generation ever attained remained 5,500mw as at February 2016.
For instance, the latest Power Generation Statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics showed that the country’s electricity generation hovered around 1,000mw and 2,000 from June1 to June 2016.
Despite this moderate improvement in power supply, there were days generating companies witnessed total or partial system collapse.
For instance, TCN’s power generation report disclosed that the country witnessed total system collapse on June 28 and partial system collapse on July 10, 2016.
Analysis of the report showed that Afam IV and V Gas Turbines (GT) 1 to 12 have been de-commissioned and scrapped. GT 13 to 16 of the same power plant have been shut down due to blade failure.

We will surely get there

Dry season is coming fast....save your waters and hydro energies now
Useless government that can not increase the MW with alternatives since May 2015
Even after taking over from Manitoba, there is no improvement
Now they blame PDP and Goodluck
Very soon, someone would propose that we take water from Atlantic Ocean in Lagos to service all the dams to sustain the power

This country is in need of total overhaul.

Hmmm

.... ..just imagine, and the funny looking rabble-ro, Fashola, was lying his azz off that day on the BBC Hardtalk programme telling the interviewer that "Nigeria is currently generating over 5,000 megawatts, just imagine what I am seeing here now.

Assuming it is true... Is it sustainable?

Real enemy of progress south and east.

Thanks to the rains but for how long do we keep relying on nature to solving our perennial needs??

Hope your hatred for the south and east don't cause you ulcers and blood pressure! You are too young to live in hatred and bitterness against a sect who doesn't give a hoof about your existence!

Have a nice day

So if there is no water, there will be no light, ?

when are we gonna get to 10k megawatts sef

No wonder they give us light only at midnight these days...


I smelled something fishy

Untill rapture takes place,Nigeria will continue in her usual rat race.

Who Hydro plant ebb?

We are getting there. Despite the destruction of gas pipelines feeding the power stations by the children of doom, we are making progress.

Though, the country’s installed capacity stands at 11,165.40mw, the network operational capability remained 5,500mw while peak generation ever attained remained 5,500mw as at February 2016.

Shame.

Good. I thing it's high time we start looking towards this technology rather depending on GAS power plant which the source of it's energy is being bombed by some disgruntled selfish Scavengers and their god fathers!!!

Who Hydro plant ebb?
Becos small time de wata go kuku ebb!

HolarQD:

Very soon especially when those Jobless Youths stop blowing up pipelines

I really have to commend Fashola, Government never give them any money o and him dey work like this.

I've been telling people. It's the weather. Some will still say "Sai Baba" for this.

I can only say so if they can maintain it till after rainy season.

Really? Why then is their no light in my area since yesterday night?

ipob, if it's useless govt, why not turn off your electricity ? yeye people, if you're not happy pack and go back to Biafra.

Help me ask the useless people.

We need gas. Dry season is fast approaching.

Assuming some people somewhere didn't cut off the gas supply. We'll be generating upto 7000mw by now. FG should just find a way to appease the devil so that they can stop blowing up the pipelines.

Electricity in my area is better now, but I know it's because of the rain. And if the gas issue is not resolved by October, then there are more dark days ahead.

happney65 please come go help FG negotiate with this people na.

Niger Delta Avengers were busy blowing up gas pipe lines, throwing the country into total darkness, now they are enjoying light made possible from water in the North iidiots!!
