The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), has blamed the gradual decrease in available generation into the grid to gas constraints to the thermal generating companies.

TCN’S General Manager Public Affairs, Mrs Ndidi Mbah, disclosed this in a statement in Abuja on Thursday, that the decrease has impacted the quantum of bulk power available on the transmission grid, for onward transmission to the distribution load centres nationwide.

Mbah said ” the company is doing everything possible in collaborating with stakeholders in the power sector.”

She said that this is to ensure that it continues to keep the grid intact in spite of the current low power generated into the system.

”Consequent upon the current load on the grid, load distributed to the distribution load centres have also reduced, as TCN can only transmit what is generated.

”TCN is committed to ensuring a gradual increase in electricity supply to load centres as gas improves to power available thermal plants.

”Please bear with us as we continue to work with the stakeholders in the value chain to ensure that supply through distribution companies to electricity consumers nationwide improves.”
