The Minister of Power, Prof. Chinedu Nebo, has said that Nigeria’s electricity generation profile has risen to about 4500 megawatts.
Prof Nebo who made the disclosure in Abuja yesterday said that the improvement was partly aided by the construction of a 700MW combined cycle power plant in Bayelsa State.
He also attributed the boost in electricity generation and distribution in the country to increase in gas supply to thermal generation plants.
“I am very sure that some of you if not all of you would have noticed that within the past few weeks we have averaged about 4,500MW of power delivery and it has been stable,” he said. “And that means that most of you are now getting better power supply than you have had in the recent past.
Gas is now coming in and we are expecting even a lot more of gas.”
