The federal government has ruled out any increase in electricity tariffs, according to the Minister of Power, Joseph Tegbe. Tegbe also disclosed that the ministry, working with relevant government agencies, secured the release of more than 300 containers of power equipment that had been delayed at the ports. He revealed that power generation and transmission had risen above 5,000MW in recent weeks, with generation peaking at 5,330MW in August and September, above the previous 3,700MW to 4,700MW range. The minister spoke at a media parley in Abuja to mark his first 100 days in office, stating that the government was focused on stabilising the electricity value chain and improving supply rather than imposing additional tariffs.
