Minister of power, Adebayo Adelabu, on Monday, said that power generation in the country increased by about 30 per cent in 2024.
Mr Adelabu made the disclosure during his ministry’s 2025 budget defence before the Senate committee on power at the National Assembly complex.
He said that when he assumed the leadership of the ministry in 2023, he met an average of 4,100 megawatts of power generation.
“I can tell you authoritatively that by the end of 2024, we had a peak generation of 5,528 megawatts of power from 4,100 megawatts that we met on ground.
“And the reason for this is not far-fetched. We added a new hydroelectric power dam, Zungeru, with 700 megawatts.
