The Federal Government has explained dip in electricity generation.

According to The Nation, the Federal Government has explained the reason for the current dip in electricity generation.

The situation, it said, was due to “partial shutdown of the Oben gas plant to address the repair of critical gas processing equipment.”

A statement by the Special Assistant Media Affairs to the Minister of Power, Malam Isa Sanusi, regretted the incidence occurred at a time when other power plants on other gas sources are undergoing planned maintenance and capacity testing.

It however explained: “We wish to notify the public that Seplat Energy Plc has mobilized equipment, material and personnel to site with a view to expediting the restoration of normal gas supply to the affected power plants.

“We have been assured that the repair work would be concluded this weekend and normalcy will be restored. While pleading with electricity consumers with the current state of supply, we wish to assure the general public that efforts are being made for a sustained improvement of supply across the country.”
