The workshop also provided a forum for dialogue and robust interaction on the recovery Programmes objectives. It was held on January 31st, 2018 at the Power House (Ministers Conference Room).
Present at the event where heads of Civil Society Organizations, power sector Ministries, Departments and Agencies, development partners and key stakeholders in Nigeria’s Electricity Supply Industry.
Speaking at the workshop, the Minister of Power, Works & Housing, Babatunde Fashola, SAN, stated that the Power Sector Recovery Programme (PSRP) was initiated by the federal government in conjunction with the World Bank to revive Nigeria’s power sector. He explained that progress is being made as the existing statistics in the power sector indicated that the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) is able to transmit the Generation Companies (GenCos) capacity which is currently up to 7,000 MW, but the Distribution Companies (DisCos) can take just about 5,000 MW, leaving a balance of 2,000 MW that industries in the country can take up but are yet to.
