Aluminium Smelter
Company of Nigeria has said it will transfer 360MW of electricity to the national
grid as part of its support for the development of the nation’s power sector.
The company, which
said Nigeria currently occupied the 39th position among the world’s biggest
economies, lamented the country’s 70th place in terms of power generation.
The Director,
Public Relations/Government Relations Department, RUSAL Aluminium, Tatyana
Smirnova, said on Saturday in Uyo that the country’s peak power generation of
4,000MW was a far cry from the 40,000MW nationwide demand.
She stated that
the company, by hooking up to the national grid, apart from helping the country
to combat its power generation shortage, would also assist the firm to keep its
production afloat in time of gas supply outages or as a measure to guide
against gas pipeline vandalism.
