Nigerians were hinted on a “long-distance bright future” once again, as the Energy Commission of Nigeria (ECN) announced today, that Nigeria might produce up to 100,000 megawatts by 2030.
In an interview with newsmen this morning, the Director-General of ECN, Prof. Eli Bala, said: “With the incremental power programme; every time, every year, we must have increment in power generation. We will also increase our capacity to transmit as well as the capacity to distribute. So I think we are on course, although it is not easy. Very soon, we will get to a level where we will have a 100,000 megawatt or 100 gigawatt by 2030 and the economy growing at the rate of about 7 per cent annually.”
