Transmission Company of Nigeria
says parts of the country will experience power shortages from today to
Wednesday, this week.
This is due to planned repair work
on the Shiroro Power Station.
TCN’s
General Manager (Public Relations), Mrs Seun Olagunju, said in a statement
yesterday that the “unavoidable shutdown’’ would lead to a drop in power supply
to parts of the country for three days.
She
quoted the Shiroro Power Plc as explaining that the shutdown was to enable the
station’s engineers rectify ground fault on the station’s Carbon Dioxide
Control Panel. The panel provides vital auxiliary services necessary for the
running of the power plant.
During the period of the shutdown, grid
generation would reduce by 300Mega Watts, leading to the nationwide
load-shedding. TCN said the impact of
the load-shedding would be higher in the Northern axis of the country,
especially Kano.
