Power generation in Nigeria hits new record high at 4,349.7MW; best is yet to come Government says

Power generation seems to be on an upward trajectory as it is reported to have reached a new all time high of 4,349.7 megawatts on December 17th.
The increase in power generation is attributed to an increased capacity in the country’s national grid. The Egbin Power Plant, the Omotosho NIPP and the Chevron gas plants all contributed to the increased capacity.

“The peak of power availability can be an instantaneous occurrence; you can stay there for a second and go off it; whereas energy is constantly delivered to homes. And so it is a thing of joy that for the first time, Nigeria has hit a new energy peak of 97,749.11 megawatt hours per hour which translates into over 4,000 megawatt hours per hour,” he said.
Nigeria is widely known to be held back economically by its epileptic power supply. Improvement in the power sector could significantly jump start the nation’s economy and increase productivity.
Previously, the nation’s Power Minister, Professor Barth Nnaji was fired based on allegations of conflict of interest. It is refreshing to see continued improvements in the power sector after his departure. Many had worried that  further progress would be stalled as a result of his absence
