Energy supplied by the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI) has increased to 3,666.7Mega Watts.

The Federal Ministry of Power which made this discourse on its website in its latest Power Statistics of December 21, had in on December 11 sent out 2,954.51MW.



The ministry however noted that energy generation which was 3,206.09MW on December 11 , increased to 3,732.27MW in the latest statistics.

Of the 3,732.27MW generated energy, the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) which is responsible for wheeling electricity to the electricity distribution companies could not evacuate 65.51MW.

According to the statistics, the electricity market recorded a peak power generation of 3,912.3 on December 11.

The NESI which hitherto has a peak demand forecast of 12,800MW, attained its highest peak generated energy of 4,517.6 MW on December 23, 2012.

It would be recalled that the Federal Government is still battling to meet its 5,000MW target this year. But according to the ministry, vandalism, shortage of gas and other constraints still militate against the attainment of the goal.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has approved the review of the Multi Year Tariff Order (MYTO) 2 regime with an implication for takeoff date for a disciplined electricity market by January 1, 2015.

The commission explained that it would insulate residential customers from the present hike.
