The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Niger Delta Power Holding Company, Jennifer Adighije, has said the company is ready to support the Lagos electricity market with an additional 1,500 megawatts of power supply.
Adighije disclosed this during a courtesy visit to the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of the Lagos State Electricity Regulatory Commission, Temitope George, on Friday.
According to a statement made available to The PUNCH on Sunday, she said the company currently has about 2,000MW of stranded generation capacity, which could significantly improve the electricity supply in Lagos.
She noted that Lagos currently receives about 1,000MW from the national grid despite an estimated electricity demand of nearly 12,000MW, creating a major supply gap.
