Nigeria’s power generation rose to a three-year high of 5,313 megawatts on Monday, September 2, 2024.
The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, disclosed this in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Strategic Communication and Media Relations, Bolaji Tunji, on Tuesday, September 3.
Adelabu, however, urged the Electricity Distribution Companies (DisCos) to take more energy in order to prevent a grid collapse.
The minister said: “When power is produced and not picked by the DisCos, it could lead to grid collapse as frequency drops.
”Efforts will be made to encourage industries to purchase bulk energy.”
FG to invest $800m in power sector, raise generation to 6,000MW

During his ministerial address in Abuja, while presenting achievements of his ministry since President Bola Tinubu assumed office on May 29, 2023, Adelabu said the country’s power generation rose to 5,000MW on May 3.
Adelabu vowed that power generation in Nigeria would hit 6,000MW before the end of this year, going by the improvements in the sector in 2023.
