Electricity: DisCos receive 3,237MW as blackout persists

Electricity supply to homes and businesses has shown no sign of improving as eleven electricity distribution companies, yesterday, received just 3,237.02 megawatts from the national grid.

It came on a day vandals cut power supply to the Central Business District in Abuja.

Checks by Vanguard on data released by the National System Operator (NSO) showed that at 5.30 pm, Ikeja DisCo got the highest load allocation with 548.65MW, followed by Eko DisCo with 429.01MW.

Other DisCos and their allocations were Ibadan DisCo (409.83MW), Abuja DisCo (343.97MW), Enugu DisCo (294.19MW), Benin DisCo (269.19MW), Jos DisCo (164.51MW), Kaduna DisCo (239.28MW), Kano DisCo (239.28MW), Port Harcourt DisCo (194.42MW) and Yola DisCo (104.69MW).

Meanwhile, the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company, AEDC, has disclosed that activities of vandals have left key institutions in the nation’s capital without public power supply.
