Nigeria’s electricity generation records steady drop – Report

Nigeria’s electricity generation peak has recorded a steady drop to 4,742.20 megawatts in the past three days.
This is according to the National Grid performance report from Thursday, 17 to 19 April 2025.

The report showed that electricity generation dropped by 531 megawatts in the last three days.

Accordingly, the system performance data indicated that the electricity generation peak stood at 5,273.80 megawatts on Thursday but dropped to 5,131.20 megawatts and 4,742.80 megawatts on Friday and Saturday.

The development comes days after the Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, announced that Nigeria hit its highest energy peak of 5,801.63 MW.

On Thursday, Adelabu reiterated that the government is doing everything to avert a collapse of the country’s power sector and plans to partly offset the N4 trillion owed to the electricity generation companies.

For more than a decade, Nigeria has continued to grapple with power sector challenges for a population of over 200 million.
