Who should be blamed for erratic power supply in the country? The blame game continued yesterday among the three major players in the electricity sector.
The players are: Generation Companies (GenCos), Distribution Companies (DisCos) and Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN).
The GenCos said they have capacity to generate more than 4,500 megawatts (mw) of electricity but handicapped because the DisCos have been rejecting load allocation.
To the distribution companies, the GenCos have been economical with the truth. They promised to make their position public in a statement today.
The TCN directed the GenCoS not to operate at capacity because stranded power could trigger system damage (grid collapse).
But at the receiving end are the domestic and industrial consumers. The GenCos were constrained to 2,561mw, the lowest generation yesterday.
The Nation learnt yesterday that the TCN cannot absorb more than the DisCos are ready to take.
