The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has said that it will step up the current 5000 megawatts of electricity generation to 6000 by December, 2015.
The NERC Chairman, Dr Sam Amadi, made the pledge at a two-day workshop organised for stakeholders in the sector to chart a way forward in Abuja, on Tuesday.
Amadi said the workshop was to ensure that generation and transmission companies improve on their services by providing adequate power to Nigerians.
He said the essence of the workshop was to ensure that stakeholders in the industry reinforced their technical capacity on the grid in order to accommodate more energy.
