Nigeria has achieved a new electricity transmission peak of 4545 mega watts, the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) announced on Tuesday.
According to Seun Olagunju, general manager, public affairs of TCN, the feat was achieved at 9:45pm on Monday.
The previous power transmission peak of 4517MW was attained on December 23, 2012. TCN management had last week informed consumers that electricity wheeling to the distribution companies had improved to over 4000MW owing to improvement in fuel supply to the power generation plants.
“TCN assures that it will continue to work towards enhancing its power wheeling capability and reliability of the network to be able to deliver more quality electricity from the generation plants to the distribution companies nationwide,” Olagunju added.
