TCN blames gas constraints for poor power supply

The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) Thursday blamed the poor power supply across the country on gas constraints.

In a statement issued by its General Manager in charge of Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, the company said the situation had impacted the quantum of bulk power available on the transmission grid for onward transmission to the distribution load centres nationwide.

She said: “The Transmission Company of Nigeria TCN hereby announces that there has been a gradual decrease in available generation into the grid due to gas constraints to the thermal generating companies, which has impacted the quantum of bulk power available on the transmission grid for onward transmission to the distribution load centres nationwide.
