The Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI) shed 410.80MW in 24 hours – between November 5 and November 6, 2022.
The drop in generation emanated from the drop in the number of power plants that supplied electricity.
Whereas 24 power generating companies produced 4,65.22MW the previous day (Saturday), only 19 plants operated and generated 3,965.10MW.
This was contained in the “List of GenCos and their MW Load @ 07hrs on 05/11/2022,” and “List of GenCos and their MW Load @ 07 hrs on 06/11/2022,”.
Besides technical constraints, the quantity of power generation is always a factor of energy nominated from the Distribution Companies (DisCos).
