Power generation hits 4,748 megawatts

The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) says it has recorded another peak generation of 4,748 Megawatts of electricity.

This is contained in a statement issued by Mr. Dipak Sarma, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (System Operation/Market Operation) of TCN in Abuja on Tuesday.

The statement said the feat was made possible due to a coordinated effort of TCN with the generating companies and the distribution companies.

It said that this was based on the wheeling capability of the TCN network and implementation of ‘real-time online power optimisation tools’ developed by the company’s National Control Centre (NCC).

It said that more megawatts could be generated since fuel supply to the generators had been stable and adequate.
