Nigeria’s electricity supply has been dwindling in recent weeks, following multiple disruptions of the national grid, causing wide blackouts across the country. Although energy generation has recorded some uptick in recent times compared to earlier in the previous month, it is still largely below the 105,000MWh energy generation required in other to record a relatively stable power supply.

Highlight (1st May 2022)

  • Peak generation – 4,446.8MW (-1.5%)
  • Off-peak generation – 3,699MW (-7.7%)
  • Energy generated – 99,701.1MWh (-2.5%)
  • Energy sent out – 98,358.4MWh (-2.5%)

The highest frequency for the day was 50.59Hz, while the lowest frequency was 48.99Hz. A further look at the tracker showed that 98.65% of the total energy generated on Thursday was sent out to consumers.

Meanwhile, Nigeria’s labour union has urged the Federal Government to scrap and reverse the electricity privatisation exercise, noting that the challenges in the electricity sector persist despite the significant support funds into the sector.

This was stated by the president of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) Mr. Ayuba Wabba, while speaking on Sunday at Abuja during the 2022 International Workers’ Day celebration. He stated that “the challenges in our electricity sub-sector persist despite the acclaimed goodness that the power sector privatization programme promised.”

Why this matters

Electricity is an essential need of many Nigerians and their businesses, especially given the surge in the price of diesel and recent fuel scarcity across the country. The cost of power in the country has gone up and is further exacerbated by constant disruption in the electricity supply.
