The management of the country’s largest Power Generating Company, Egbin Power Plant has confirmed that the Improved gas supply to power stations has helped to substantially increase the power generation.
The Chief Executive Officer, Egbin Power Plc., Mr. Dallas Peavey mentioned that the impressive electricity supply being experienced by consumers, especially in Lagos State and other surrounding states, is due to increased gas supply and huge investment in new and upgrade of power infrastructure by the owners of the company, Sahara Power Group and the Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO).
Peavey said Egbin generates and supplies over 1,100 megawatts (Mw) of electricity to the national grid and hopes to reach plant’s installed capacity of 1,320Mw or a little below it.
He assured that if gas supply is sustained, the output from the power plant would not only be sustained, but well exceeded.
How come we were unable to get stable gas supply during the regime of Goodluck Ebele Jonathan? This issue of power still baffles me. Some had earlier claimed that it was due to the rainy season. I wonder.
