Power Crisis Deepens: 10 DisCos Receive Zero Power Allocation
Nigeria’s electricity challenges have worsened as at least 10 electricity distribution companies (DisCos) reportedly received zero megawatt (MW) allocation, raising fresh concerns over power supply nationwide.
The development has sparked fears of widespread blackouts across several parts of Nigeria, as affected DisCos struggle to supply electricity to homes and businesses.
Industry sources attribute the situation to constraints in power generation and transmission, which continue to limit the amount of electricity distributed across the national grid.
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) and generation companies are said to be grappling with operational and technical challenges impacting output.
Consumers have expressed frustration over the persistent instability in power supply, noting that outages have become more frequent and prolonged.
Energy experts warn that without urgent intervention to boost generation capacity and upgrade infrastructure, the country’s electricity crisis may continue to deteriorate.
The situation underscores ongoing structural issues within Nigeria’s power sector, despite repeated reforms aimed at improving efficiency and reliability.
