The Nigeria Independent System Operator (NISO) has announced plans to boost the country’s electricity generation capacity to 8,500 megawatts, in line with the broader reforms being championed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.

This ambitious target reflects the renewed momentum in the power sector under the Tinubu government, which has prioritized stable electricity supply as a cornerstone of national development and industrial growth. The NISO’s efforts aim to strengthen grid efficiency, reduce transmission losses, and support ongoing investments in energy infrastructure.

Energy experts have commended the administration’s leadership, noting that this push for increased power generation aligns with President Tinubu’s commitment to delivering reliable electricity to homes and industries across the country.
