Power generation dropped by 759.1 megawatts on Wednesday on the back of losses recorded by Egbin, Afam VI and other generation plants.
Electricity generation had on Tuesday risen to 4,368.5MW from 3,548.7MW on Monday. But it dropped to 3,629.4MW on Wednesday, reports say.
Generation from Egbin, which is located in Lagos, was limited to 912MW on Wednesday, down from 1,085MW the previous day, due to gas constraints.
In Shell’s Afam VI power plant in Rivers State, which generated 524MW on Tuesday, it saw the level falling to zero on Wednesday. Its four units were said to be out due to defective gas compressors.
The Sapele power plant did not generate electricity on Wednesday, compared to the 40MW it produced the previous day.
Other plants whose generation fell included Omotosho, Olorunsogo, Geregu NIPP, Odukpani NIPP and the Ibom power plant.
