The amount of electricity generated by the nation’s 27 power stations fell below 3,000 megawatts on Sunday as low load demand by distribution companies continued to limit generation.
The PUNCH reported earlier this month that 17 of the stations had been forced to shut down some of their units on the back of low demand by the Discos, worsening the blackout being experienced by millions of customers across the country.
Total power generation in the country dropped to 2,970MW as of 6am on Sunday from 3,182.2MW on Saturday, data obtained by our correspondent from the Nigeria Electricity System Operator showed.
