The plants, Alaoji_1, Ibom Power_1 and Rivers_1, recorded zero megawatts in average hourly generation and a load factor of zero per cent during the month. Their available capacities were also listed as zero, indicating that they contributed no electricity to the grid throughout the period.
The NERC factsheet on the operational performance of power plants showed that the national grid recorded an average available capacity of 5,038 megawatts in September, while average hourly generation stood at 4,089MW, resulting in a system-wide load factor of 81 per cent.
Compared with August 2026, available capacity increased by 5.89 per cent, but average hourly generation declined by 0.30 per cent, while the load factor fell by 5.04 per cent.
