The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced a significant milestone in the country’s power generation. On Tuesday, the nation’s power generation hit 5,713.60 megawatts (MW), surpassing the previous record of 5,543.20MW generated on February 14, 2025. This achievement is a notable step forward in Nigeria’s quest for reliable and sustainable electricity supply.
The TCN also reported that the maximum daily energy rose to 125,542.06 megawatt-hours, up from the 125,159.48 MWh achieved last month. This represents a new record for the maximum daily energy ever attained in the history of the electricity industry in Nigeria.
Despite this achievement, the power sector still faces significant challenges. Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, had promised Nigerians that power generation would rise to 6,000MW by December 2024. However, this target could not be achieved due to vandalism, grid collapses, and poor power infrastructure.
