The Nigerian Power industry has recorded a millstone of improved all-time national peak of 5,420.30MW, effectively transmitted through the national grid at a frequency of 50.10Hz at 9:15pm, August 18th, 2020.

A statement by the General Manager, Public Affairs of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), Mrs Ndidi Mbah noted that this is the highest ever recorded in the nation’s power sector to-date.

She said this surpassed the previous peak of 5,377.80MW recorded on the 1st of August, 2020, by 42.50MW.

According to the statement, “The gradual but steady improvement in electricity delivery in the nation’s power sector is attributable to the keen interest of the current administration of President Mohammadu Buhari in piloting programmes and projects geared towards growing the power sector as well as the collective effort of all power sector players in the value chain.”

She further assured that TCN is committed to working assiduously to further stabilize, rehabilitate and expand the grid and urge Nigerians to lend their support by safeguarding electricity installations nationwide.
