Nigerians To Experience Drop In Electricity Supply

Transmission Company of Nigeria,
TCN, has.indicated that electricity
generation in the country will drop
by 400megawatts beginning from
Monday through Saturday this week.
According to TCN, this will
consequently lead to a six-day
nationwide power rationing.
The firm, in a statement, explained
that the drop in power generation
would be as a result of maintenance
work on one of Shell Petroleum
Development Company’s gas plant.
TCN said: “There will be a reduction
in generation output by 400MW,
from 4 Monday to.9 Saturday,
November, 2013.
“This is due to the SPDC’s scheduled
maintenance work on Okoloma gas
plant supplying gas to Afam VI
power plant, thereby leading to the
shutdown of the power plant,
resulting in nationwide power
rationing.”
TCN said the shutdown of Afam VI
power plant.became necessary to
allow SPDC inspect and.carry out
routine maintenance work on the
Okoloma natural gas station in Afam,
Rivers State, to ensure its technical
integrity.
