It stated that the gas constrains have impacted the quantum of bulk power available on the grid for onward transmission to electricity distribution companies nationwide.
Distribution companies have continued to speak up, saying they were not to blame as they also receive limited allocation from generating companies.
The Eko Electricity Distribution Company has also confirmed that the poor power supply was caused by a gas shortage.
Just like the DisCos, the TCN disclosed that the load distributed to the distribution load centres had reduced, saying it can only transmit what is generated.
