Relief as Kainji Power Plant Back on Stream

Could this be a step to uninterrupted power supply??!!
Three days after it was shut down following water leakage, the Kainji Hydro Power Station is back on stream, Minister of Power, Prof. Bart Nnaji, has said.
He also said the facility was now delivering power to the national grid from its four available units that were shut down.
Media Assistant to the minister, Mr. Ogbuagu Anikwe, quoting Nnaji in a statement yesterday, said a combined 233 megawatts of electricity from the four units of the plant which was shut down last Thursday had now been restored to the national grid.
Anikwe also said in the statement that the minister was last night informed by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Kainji Power Plant, Mr. Yinka Akinwumi, that inspection on the four units had been completed and that the plant was now tied to the national grid once more, delivering 233mw of electricity.
