The  power sector recorded a new daily gridenergy peak of 110,724.93MWH on  March, 20, Transmission Company ofNigeria(TCN) has said.
Mrs Ndidi Mbah, TCN General Manager, Public Affairs ina statement in Abuja on Saturday said  the  new   figurerecorded  was  an improvement on the previous maximum daily gridenergy peak of 109,372,01MWH attained  on  Feb 2, 2016.
Mbah, said that the new maximum daily energy peak  was  much higher than the last one attained with  1,352.92MWH.
She explained that the maximum daily grid energy of110,724.93MWH was different from the peak grid generation (power) of 5,375.0MWattained on Feb 7.
“The maximum daily grid energy refers to the quantumof energy that is wheeled from generators to distribution load centersnationwide throughout a whole day (00.00Hrs 24:00Hrs).
“This is measured in Maga Watts Hour, while the peakgrid generation (power) which is a singular reading or high point in gridgeneration is measured in Megawatts.
Mbah said the new maximum daily energy and the peakgeneration (power) shows that TCN now has enhanced capacity and capability towheel and transmit more power, over time, into the grid.
“It is also an evidence that the ongoing TransmissionRehabilitation and Expansion Program (TREP) being executed by TCN is payingoff.“
She said the success of TREP was  in line with Federal Government’s  incremental power policy ,noting that TCN waspoised to continue to play its role in the power sector value chain by ensuring  the  timely implementation of   the grid expansionplan.
Mbah said  the implementation of TREP was linked  to TCN’s  20 Year Least Cost Transmission Expansion MasterPlan, aimed at systematically expanding the nation’s transmission grid. (NAN)
