The physical and financial losses in Nigeria’s power sector (Part III) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
•5.11 TWh unbilled, N637.5 billion uncollected IN Parts I and II, we followed Nigeria’s grid electricity from installed capacity to available capacity and actual generation, using Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) data from April 2025 to March 2026. Of 13,625 megawatts (MW) installed, only about 5,174 MW was available on average and about 4,312 MW was generated. Part III now examines the electricity that reached the eleven Distribution Companies (DisCos): how much was accounted f

•Part II: Why 862 MW of available capacity was not dispatched IN Part I, we examined the first major gap in Nigeria’s grid-connected electricity system: the difference between 13,625 megawatts (MW) of installed capacity and the roughly 5,174 MW available on average.

LAST week, I intended to discuss how record-breaking heatwaves are increasing demand for cooling, prompting the International Energy Agency (IEA) to warn of mounting pressure on electricity systems. Nigeria must treat grid restructuring and coordinated distributed energy systems as national priorities for affordable electricity, industrialisation and economic development. The question is: what electricity system should we build to achieve this? Since being sworn in on 8 June 2026, Power Minister
Should the NBA continue to monopolise the administration of justice? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
MY original intention this week was to discuss a different subject. 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. Events, however, have compelled me to postpone that discussi
