The Federal government through the Ministry of Power has announced a series of historic achievements in Nigeria’s power sector, marking a significant step forward in the nation’s quest for sustainable and reliable electricity supply.
This is in view of the recent increase in power generation by Power Ministry under the Honourable Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu.
According to a statement by Bolaji Tunji, Special Adviser on Strategic Communication to the Honourable Minister of Power, on Sunday, March 2, 2025, Nigeria achieved a record available power generation of 6,003 megawatts (MW), the highest in the nation’s history. This was followed by another landmark within the period, when the country recorded a peak generation evacuation of 5,801.84 MW and a daily maximum energy output of 128,370.75 megawatt-hours (MWh).
These achievements represent a significant leap forward in the sector’s capacity to meet the growing energy demands in the country, ongoing reforms in the power sector and the avowed commitment of the administration of President Bola Tinubu to ensure regular electricity supply in order to galvanise the nation’s economy.
The statement expressed optimism about the sustainability of these records and the potential for further improvements in the coming days.
“We are thrilled to announce these historic milestones in Nigeria’s power sector. The record available generation of 6,003 MW, the peak evacuation of 5,801.84 MW, and the daily maximum energy output of 128,370.75 MWh are testaments to the hard work, dedication, and strategic reforms being implemented under the leadership of the Honourable Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu,” said Tunji.
“These achievements are not just numbers; they represent a brighter future for Nigeria, where businesses can thrive, households can enjoy uninterrupted power supply, and the economy can grow sustainably. We pray for the sustainability of these landmark records and look forward to further improvements on all parameters in the coming days.”
