Of 13,625 megawatts (MW) installed, only about 5,174 MW was available on average and about 4,312 MW was generated.

Record-breaking heatwaves are increasing demand for cooling, prompting the International Energy Agency (IEA) to warn of mounting pressure on electricity systems. I intended to argue that Nigeria must urgently treat grid restructuring and coordinated distributed energy systems as national priorities for affordable electricity, cooling, industry and economic development.
