Nigeria to Add 150MW to National Grid by Year-End, Says Adelabu

The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has revealed plans to boost Nigeria’s national grid capacity by an additional 150 megawatts (MW) before the end of 2024.

Adelabu shared this update on Thursday while addressing State House Correspondents after a high-level meeting between German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and Nigerian President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

According to the Minister, the planned grid expansion is part of the significant progress achieved in the pilot phase of the Presidential Power Initiative (PPI), an ambitious project aimed at modernising Nigeria’s power infrastructure.
