The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) said the national power grid has lost more than 1,770 megawatts (MW) since last month.

The discomfort residents of the Federal Capital Territory , Abuja, suffer from the deteriorating electricity supply, and the hot weather in the Nigerian capital, has become a boost for sellers of generators, air-conditioners and rechargeable fans in the city and environs.

The TCN said data from the Nigeria Electricity System Operator showed from a peak level of about 4,806.8MW, the country’s electricity generation capacity dropped to about to 2,938.5MW on March 22. “There has been such unprecedented increase in the sales of fans and air conditioners since the weather changed. The poor electricity supply in the city also brought about an increase in the sales of generators.

Mr Okabike said most of his customers report they acquire the items to see how to mitigate the effect of the inclement weather condition.
