BREAKING: Nigeria’s electricity generation exploded by 10.92% in early 2025 – the biggest quarterly leap in years! According to NERC’s bombshell Q1 report, power plants are FINALLY delivering for frustrated Nigerians. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

🔥 By the Numbers:

• Total Generation: 10,304.47 GWh (Up from 9,289.95 GWh in Q4 2024)

• Hourly Power Boost: 4,770 MWh/h – a 13.39% SURGE!

• Top Performers: Delta_1 (+157.58 MWh/h), Geregu_2 (+71.95 MWh/h), Egbin_1 (+68.20 MWh/h)

👷♂️ Why the Sudden Jump?

NERC credits “improved operational capacity” – translation: thermal plants stopped collapsing! 16 out of 23 thermal plants ramped up output, while hydro stations like Zungeru_1 (+23.55%) and Shiroro_1 (+12.21%) pitched in.

“This rise is linked to an increase in the cumulative available generation capacity of grid-connected plants.”

🌧️ But Hold the Celebration…

While this is HUGE progress, NERC warns:
⚠️ Fuel supply chaos still cripples plants
⚠️ Aging equipment risks more blackouts
⚠️ Sky-high operating costs threaten stability

Lagosians React:
“I only had 3 generator days last month!” – Tunde, Ikeja
“Is this real or another govt statistic?” – Chioma, Lekki

💡 The Bottom Line:

This isn’t a miracle fix – but PROOF Nigeria’s grid CAN deliver. If plants keep this up, we might just kiss our generators goodbye!
