Dr. Mustapha Abdullahi, Director-General/CEO of the Energy Commission of Nigeria, has announced the country’s ambitious plan to achieve a stable power supply by increasing its energy generation capacity. According to Abdullahi, Nigeria needs to generate 40,000 megawatts of electricity to meet the energy demands of its citizens and match the power stability seen in developed nations.
Currently, Nigeria has an installed capacity of 12,000 megawatts, but only 5,000 megawatts are distributed to the public. “We need 40,000 megawatts to be able to meet the country’s energy needs and enjoy stable power as obtained in other developed nations,” Abdullahi stated. He highlighted the critical need to expand energy generation infrastructure to close the significant gap between current supply and demand.
To address these challenges, the commission has developed a national energy master plan aimed at improving power availability across Nigeria. Abdullahi explained that the plan would ensure all Nigerians have access to reliable and consistent electricity. Part of the strategy involves the establishment of a plant dedicated to producing solar panels and batteries, providing Nigerians with access to affordable solar power solutions. “I am assuring Nigerians that we will achieve this by next year,” he affirmed.
In addition to expanding solar energy production, Abdullahi also revealed that the commission has commenced construction of a Renewable Energy College. This institution will offer free education on energy solutions, aiming to bridge the skills gap in the power sector and support the government’s efforts in energy development.
The Energy Commission’s initiatives reflect a comprehensive approach to tackling Nigeria’s power issues, combining infrastructure expansion with education and renewable energy solutions. The government’s commitment to increasing power generation is expected to bring Nigeria closer to achieving stable and sufficient electricity for its citizens.
