Nigeria power generation strolled to maintain an average of 5,000 MWh....
The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) said on Friday that grid-connected power plants in Nigeria recorded an average hourly generation of 4,102 megawatt-hours (MWh) in February.
NERC disclosed this in its latest Operational Performance Fact Sheet released in Abuja on Friday and published on its website.
According to the fact sheet, although the country has a total installed generation capacity of 13,625 megawatts (MW), only an average of 4,384MW was available for dispatch during the period.
The commission said the figure represented a Plant Availability Factor (PAF) of 32 per cent for the month.
It added that the available capacity was largely utilised as the plants recorded an average load factor of 93 per cent, indicating that most of the available generation capacity was dispatched to the national grid.
“The grid-connected plants recorded a PAF of 32 per cent.
“At any point during the month, an average of 4,384MW was available for dispatch onto the grid,” the commission said.
