Why Electricity Supply Reduced Nationwide – Power Minister
The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has given the reason for the reduction in electricity supply nationwide.
In a statement on Friday, the media aide to the minister, Bolaji Tunji, Adelabu blamed gas constraints on thermal generating companies for the drop in power supply nationwide.
He said the federal government is working to ensure outstanding payments are made to power generation companies to resolve the declining electricity supply.
The statement read, “This is mainly due to a decreased gas supply to generation companies.
“This situation has led to a lower level of energy supplied to load centres, affecting the electricity supply to distribution companies.
“This will also enable distribution companies to supply more electricity to Nigerians.
“We acknowledge the unsustainable situation and expect a turnaround immediately.”
