Nigeria ranked second worst power supply nation in 2017
The Spectator Index has ranked Nigeria the world's second worst electricity supply Nation in 2017.
Nigeria came after Yemen, which was rated the worst electricity supply out of 137 countries in the world.
Haiti, Lebanon and Malawi, in that order, also made the top five.
The list was released via the medium's twitter handle - @spectatorindex.

National Grid Capacity
Meanwhile, the Nigeria's Advisory Power Team report shows that the national grid capacity stands at 4, 000 Megawatts (MW).
The
report said the average power sent out by the Electricity Generating
Companies (GENCOs), on the 14th of January, stood at 3, 851.06mw, down
by 168.58mw, recorded the previous day, adding that the peak generation
averaged 4, 425mw, down by 5.5 percent.
The report said,
"On January 14 2018, average power sent out was 3,851MWh/hour (down by
169MWh/h from the previous day). 1437.9MW was not generated due to
unavailability of gas.
"0MW was
not generated due to unavailability of line infrastructure, while
680.5MW was not generated due to high frequency resulting from the
unavailability of distribution infrastructure. 290MW was not generated
due to unavailability of water.
"The
power sector lost an estimated N1,121,000,000 on January 14, 2018, due
to insufficient gas supply, distribution infrastructure, transmission
infrastructure and water reserves."
Consequently, a total of 63.1mw of energy was sent out from Omoku, Rivers State thermal power plant with a constraint of 16mw.
Alaoji
National Independent Power Plant (NIPP) had a constraint of 240mw which
affected the ability of the plant to generate commercial energy.
Energy sent out from Delta power plant on the same day was 340.76mw with a high-frequency constraint of 100 Hertz.
Jebba
plant sent out 302.88mw of energy, while Shiroro had a water constraint
of 290mw, along with high-frequency constraint of 95 Hz, limiting the
sent out energy to 160.31mw, while Kainji dam sent out 359.49mw of power
to the transmission company of Nigeria (TCN).
