The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has attributed the gradual decrease in available generation into the grid to gas constraints for the thermal generating companies.

It said this has, In turn, impacted the quantum of bulk power available on the transmission grid for onward transmission to the distribution load centres nationwide.

This is contained in a statement issued by the company’s spokesperson, Mrs Ndidi Mba, on Thursday in Abuja.

“TCN is doing everything possible in collaboration with stakeholders in the power sector to ensure that it continues to keep the grid intact in spite of the current low power generated into the system .

“Consequently, 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,” the statement reads

It expressed Its commitment 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. (Nigerian Tribune)
