Electricity supply to get worse as Shiroro power plant suffers system collapse

The already bad state of electricity supply across the country was made worse on Sunday following of a system collapse at the Shiroro Hydro-electric Power Plant in Niger State. The Shiroro plant has a power generating capacity of 600 megawatts and began operation in 1990. The system
collapsed happened at about 4.10pm yesterday. This led to massive load shedding and made power allocation to the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company to be reduced to 15MW from about 450MW…… Nigerians r encouraged not to panic n keep sustaining wt their well fueled generators as ds would b resolved within d next 720 hours…..
