The agency stated that the feat was achieved on March 4, 2025, at 21:15 hours, with a stable frequency of 49.69Hz.
The generated power was efficiently transmitted and optimally utilised by the country’s Distribution Companies (DisCos), ensuring improved supply to end users during peak hours.
The new achievement follows a series of incremental improvements in the power sector, the TCN noted.

“The steady rise in power generation signals a gradual strengthening of the national grid, reflecting the ongoing commitment of the Federal Government, power generation companies (GenCos), TCN, and DisCos to enhancing electricity supply across the country.
“This achievement underscores the continued progress being made in the power sector, demonstrating the commitment of the present administration and the generation, transmission, and distribution companies to advancing the nation’s power sector,” TCN noted.
