The Nigerian Government cannot continue to subsidise electricity, and needs to start implementing a cost-effective tariff model.

Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu gave this warning, pointing out that the Federal Government owes Generating Companies (GenCos) N1.3 trillion and gas companies $1.3billion

The Minister further disclosed that only N450 billion was allocated for subsidy this year but the ministry needs over N2 trillion for subsidy.

He said State Governments will be allowed to generate power independently to supply power to their States.

He claimed the reasons behind the approximately six grid collapses that have occurred since December 2023 are the shortage of gas, aging equipment in the grid value chain, a limited ability to evacuate generated power, and the destruction of power plants in certain areas of the nation’s northeastern geopolitical zone.

According to him, the Transmission Company of Nigeria(TCN) has over 100 unfinished projects because of differences in contract figures caused by fluctuations of the forex, as a result, the company won’t issue any new contracts until all projects are completed.

The Minister added that the 2024 budget has over N50 billion set aside for the construction of small grids that will provide electricity to isolated locations
