The Management of Transmission
Company of Nigeria said power supply
dropped by 400 megawatts on Sunday
(yesterday), as the Agip Okpai Power
Station Delta State was shut for scheduled
annual maintenance, which will last till
September 4, 2013.
According to a statement made available to
The PUNCH by the TCN on Sunday, the five-
day maintenance exercise is carried out
yearly to ensure equipment availability as
well as improved grid performance and
stability.
The statement said that as a result of the
development, there would be nationwide
load-shedding during the period.
The company, however, appealed to all
electricity customers to show
understanding as the maintenance "is
critical and must be carried out to ensure
that the station continues to contribute
maximally to the nation's generation
capacity.
"The TCN also apologises for the
inconveniences the planned load-shedding
will cause its customers nationwide during
this period and assures that it will continue
to work hard to ensure power supply
stability in the country," the statement
added.
