POWER GENERATION INCREASES TO 4200MW

The System Operations Transition Company of Nigeria (TCN) said power generation increased to 4200 Megawatts (MW)
Assistan. General Manager (Public Affairs), Clement Ezeolisah, in a statement explained that power had dipped to 3,755Mw due to a ruptured gas pipeline that supplies gas to the power generating stations.
