THE Presidency said yesterday that the country’s installed capacity in the electricity sector was 6,300 megawatts and would soon outpace the current 4,517 megawatts peak it achieved last week.
It also reiterated its dedication to seeing the electricity reform programme through, assuring that it was on course to handling key aspects of the nation’s electricity industry over to private concerns.
The presidency also said yesterday that President Goodluck Jonathan was on point when he declared at a recent media chat that the nation’s generation capacity was 5,000 megawatts.
The capacity, the Presidential Task Force on Power said in statement, had since stepped up to 6,300 megawatts due to the various maintenance works and added capacity in the sector.
Chairman of the PTFP, Reynold Dagogo-Jack recalled that at a news briefing, President Goodluck Jonathan made mention of the 5,000 megawatts generation profile achieved and immediately went on to clarify that owing to transmission constraints, not all of it could be evacuated for then.
