.... Clarifies On Low Generation Into The Grid Reduced Allocation To Distribution Companies.

"Consequent upon the current load on the grid, load distributed to the distribution load centres have also reduced, as TCN can only transmit what is generated.

"TCN is committed to ensuring a gradual increase in electricity supply to load centers as gas improves to power available thermal plants."
