Nigeria’s Power Generation Stagnates at 5500MW as Bayelsa Gains Electricity Market Autonomy

Nigeria’s power generation has been stagnant at 5500MW for some time now, despite the country’s efforts to increase its power generation capacity. The Nigerian government has been working to improve the power sector, but the results have been slow to materialize. In a recent development, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has granted Bayelsa state autonomy in the electricity market. This move is expected to improve the state’s access to electricity and reduce its reliance on the national grid. The autonomy will allow Bayelsa state to generate, transmit, and distribute its own electricity, giving it more control over its power supply. This is a significant development for the state, which has been struggling with power outages and inadequate electricity supply. The Bayelsa state government has welcomed the move, saying it will help to improve the state’s economy and living standards. The autonomy is also expected to attract investors to the state, as it will provide a more stable and reliable power supply.
