Although Nigeria has an installed power generation capacity of about 13,000MW, it, however, generates far less than that figure daily.
The NAEE, an affiliate of the International Association for Energy Economics, disclosed that findings showed that about 75 giga-joules/year, which translates to 20.55MW, was the quantum of electricity required to have a healthy life. “Nigeria’s total installed capacity of 13,000MW can only give 632.4 people a good and healthy life. There are 200 million people in Nigeria.”
On Friday The PUNCH reported that the Federal Government had commenced “a full-scale investigation” to establish the cause of the national electricity grid collapse which occurred on Wednesday and caused blackouts nationwide.The report stated that though engineers from the Transmission Company of Nigeria started grid restoration after the incident, industry figures seen on Thursday showed that power generation on the grid crashed from over 3,900MW to 3MW during the collapse.
He, however, noted that country was taking measures to manage this challenge as well boost its energy supplies to citizens.
