Firm reinstates commitment to operation of gas power plants

Cummins Power Generation Nigeria Limite has promised to keep operation going at the 16 gas fired power plants (100MW capacity) across Nigeria.

The power generating systems and the largest off grid Independent Power Producer (IPP) in Nigeria made this know recently in a statement to newsmen.

According to Cummins, the recent national grid fall has made obvious the fall out of the quality of power generation and distribution in the country with an estimated electricity generation capacity of 8,644MW, and distribution capacity of approximately 3,718MW to cater for the electricity needs of over 160 million Nigerians.

Quoting a research, the power generation firm note that the constant power shortage and inefficiency is as a result of the enormous gap between the high demand for electricity and low capacity and supply of electricity to meet it.
