Gbarain.
Okpai (GT11)
Olorunsogo I (GT2)
The report further stated that on January 13, the average power sent out was 2,944MW-hour/hour, up by 165MWh/h.
It stated that the gas constraints accounted for 2,680MW, while grid and water management constraints were both zero megawatt.
This administration is simply failure personified!! They met 5000MW confirmed last year even by VP Osibajo and now the sector is meesed up…well am not surprised cos that’s what we’ll get when we put square pegs in round holes. Don’t know how they expected a brilliant result from a lawyer in a sector where an electrical engineer is needed? It’s just like asking a carpenter to sew your clothes!! Mtcheeew
