There seems to be improved power supply in recent weeks in Nigeria as shown by data from the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN).
The daily tracker of Electricity generation in Nigeria shows supply peaked at a record high of 5,043 megawatts (MW) on Thursday, 1st September 2022, an 8.1% increase when compared to 4,664MW recorded a day before.
According to report, electricity supply has improved since the labour union strike action earlier in August, where electricity workers under the aegis of the National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) and the Senior Staff Association Electricity and Allied Companies (SSAEAC) grounded the operations of the TCN, leading to a nationwide blackout, a move which saw DisCos lose an estimated N2.94 billion in potential revenue.
It was reported that in the month of August, an average of 93,183MegaWattHour(MWh) of electricity was supplied to consumers, as against an average of 86,221MWh sent out in the previous month.
Similarly, energy production has also increased with a daily average generation of 94,281.68MWh in August.
Meanwhile, on the first day of September, a total of 102,875.3MWh of energy was generated, while 101,630MWh was supplied, representing 98.8% of the total generated electricity.
Some Nigerians have expressed some level of satisfaction with the recent stability in the electricity supply in their areas.
