The statement said that the previous peak of the power transmission was 4,517 megawatts which was attained on December 23, 2012.
It added that power generation and transmission had been above 4,000 megawatts due to improvement in gas supply to the generating stations.

The management of TCN assured its customers that it would continue to work to enhance the capacity to transmit more quality power to the distribution companies.
