It explained that the operational performance parameters reported in the first quarter of last year covered the available generation capacity, average hourly generation, total quarterly generation, load factor and generation mix of grid-connected power plants, as well as the grid frequency and voltage patterns during the quarter.
On available generation capacity, it stated that there were 26 grid-connected power stations in 2022/Q1, consisting of 19 gas, four hydro, two steam, and one gas/steam-powered plants. “The plants’ average available generation capacity during the quarter was 4,712.34MW, representing a 13.78 per cent decrease compared to 5,465.72MW recorded in 2021/Q4,” it stated.
It noted that incessant technical faults, gas constraints, as well as undulating load demand patterns had continued to affect the amount of energy generated by power plants. “The reduced generation is also expected due to an overall reduction in available capacity,” the report stated, adding that the NERC was working towards gradual activation of contracts to incentivise commercial and contractual discipline throughout the value chain.All rights reserved.
