TCN Announces Peak In Power Generation To 5,801.84MW

The Transmission Company of Nigeria has increased the number of megawatts that are generated to 5, 801.84.

The feat is yet another milestone in Nigeria’s power sector’s record-breaking peak generation and maximum daily energy, according to a statement from its management on Wednesday.

The statement read in part as “(TCN) is pleased to announce that the nation’s power sector has reached yet another milestone with a peak generation of 5, 801.84MW.”

The feat was documented by the organization as occurring on March 4, 2025, at 21:15 and with a constant frequency of 49.69 Hz.

The distribution companies (DisCos) in the country effectively distributed and used the generated power, ensuring better supply to end users at peak times.

According to the TCN, the new achievement comes in the wake of a string of incremental improvements in the power sector.

Nigeria had a peak generation of 5, 713. 60MW, and a daily energy demand of 125, 542. 06MW, according to a report from Channels Television two days earlier.

Similar to how TCN successfully transmitted its daily energy of 125, 159, and 159.48MW to distribution load centers on February 14, 2025.

The increase in power generation signals a gradual strengthening of the national grid, which is in line with the Federal Government’s ongoing commitment to improving the country’s electricity supply, according to TCN, DisCos, and GenCos.

This achievement highlights the ongoing progress being made in the power sector, which demonstrates the commitment of the current administration and the transmission, distribution, and generation companies to advance the country’s power sector, according to TCN.

The over 200 million people of Nigeria still need more electricity than the 5, 801.84MW generation.
