Nigeria may soon face
power crisis as the management of Egbin Power Plc has threatened to shut down
operations due to non-settlement of N110 billion debt, inadequate gas supply
and inefficiency in operations of the Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN.
Managing Director, Egbin
Power Plc, Mr Dallas Peavey, said the country was heading towards another
blackout next week as liquidity, transmission and gas supply issues threatened
its operations.
Peavey, who stated this
during an interactive session with energy correspondents in Lagos, against the
backdrop of a drop in generation, said Egbin Power plant was being forced to
gradually shutdown due to adverse effect of grid instability which endangers
its turbines.
