The power generation capacity of the National grid has been grown from 13,000megawatts to about 14,000megawatts by the Federal Government through the Association of Power Generation Companies.
Executive Secretary of APGC – Dr. Joy Ogaji, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday.
According to her, the increase was brought about due to the addition of a $1.3bn Niger state-based 700MW Zungeru hydroelectric plant which came on stream in the second quarter of the year.
“The national grid now has an installed power generation capacity of about 14,000 megawatts, and this was made possible due to the Zungeru plant that came on stream this year,” she said.
She also called on interested investors to seize the opportunity and partner with the Generation companies.
