The country is currently generating
about 2,000 megawatts of electricity, down from over 4,000MW recorded
early last month, the Federal Government has said.
It also revealed that though power generation was a meagre 2,000MW; there was enough gas to produce over 6,000MW.
The government blamed the disparity in the generation potential and actual output on the activities of gas pipelines vandals.
Most power generating plants across the country produce electricity using gas-fired turbines.
Speaking on behalf of the government,
the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Power, Dr. Godknows Igali,
said the poor electricity supply was causing anger among consumers who
were paying for what they hardly consumed.
He regretted that power consumers were being forced to pay for what they barely consumed by way of estimated billing.
