Nigeria is now generating 4,349.7 megawatts, the Transmission Company of Nigeria has said.
The TCN, in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja by its Assistant General Manager, Public Affairs, Dave Ifabiyi, said the figure represented an increase of 28.40mw over the 4,321.3MW peak that was achieved on August 31, 2012.
The company said that the new generation peak was achieved as a result of improved gas supply and the newly commissioned generating units at the National Integrated Power Projects thermal power stations in Omotosho and Olorunsogo.
The success was also said to have been as a results of the efforts of engineers in the generation, transmission and distribution companies.
The company said it would be collaborating with power generation companies to improve on the achievement with a view to attaining the generation target of 4,500mw projected for the year.
