The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced that there has been a gradual decrease in available generation into the grid due to gas constraints to the thermal generating companies.
This, the company said, has impacted the quantum of bulk power available on the transmission grid for onward transmission to the distribution load centers nationwide.
“TCN is doing everything possible in collaboration with stakeholders in the power sector to ensure that it continues to keep the grid intact inspite of the current low power generated into the system”.

“Consequently, upon the current load on the grid, load distributed to the distribution load centers has also reduced, as TCN can only transmit what is generated.
“TCN is committed to ensuring a gradual increase in electricity supply to load centers as gas improves to power available thermal plants.
It appealed to electricity users to bear with the organization as it continues to work with the stakeholders in the value chain to ensure that supply through distribution companies to electricity consumers nationwide improves.
