FG Targets 6,000MW Power Generation by 2025 - Minister | Daily Report Nigeria

 

The Federal Government has announced plans to achieve a power generation target of at least 6,000 megawatts by the end of 2025.

This was confirmed by the Minister of Power, Bayo Adelabu, during an assessment visit to the Calabar Power Plant of the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) on Tuesday.

Adelabu noted that the administration of President Bola Tinubu inherited a power output of less than 3,000 megawatts from existing infrastructure last year, but has since seen a consistent increase in power generation, ensuring a more reliable supply.

The minister emphasized that a significant portion of this power generation is sourced from the Calabar power plant, which has been largely underutilized despite being constructed 15 years ago with a capacity of 625 megawatts.

He noted that the plant is equipped with five turbines, each capable of producing over 125 megawatts, with three currently operating at optimal levels to supply power to the Southeast and South-South regions.
