AEDC disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday. This comes as an outage hit parts of Nasarawa, including Lafia, Keffi, Masaka, and other communities in Nasarawa State. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1524595905268-5'); }); It explained the affected areas struggle with between 5 and 10 megawatts (MW) due to inadequate allocation from the national grid. ”Nigeria’s power sector faces significant constraints during the dry season (typically November to April), when hydropower generation drops due to low water levels in dams, and many thermal plants experience reduced gas supply from pipeline issues, vandalism, and other supply-chain disruptions. ”These factors have led to lower overall generation and reduced allocations from the national grid to all Electricity Distribution Companies (DisCos), including AEDC. ”We are hopeful for an imminent improvement in national supply and stand ready to restore more stable service while advancing longer-term solutions to reduce dependency on the grid and deliver more resilient power access,” it said.
