A MEASURABLE PROJECT WITH CLEAR TIMELINE THE NEW ABEOKUTA SUBSTATION IN OGUN STATE. Project Timeline: The New Abeokuta Substation upgrade in Ogun State is set to be completed in 2026. It is part of Phase One of the Presidential Power Initiative, which aims to add 4,000 megawatts of transmission capacity across Nigeria within three years. Measurable Milestones: The project will transform the existing 132/33kV facility into a modern 330/132/33kV substation. This upgrade is expected to unlock approximately 480 megawatts of additional transmission capacity at this single site. Complementary infrastructure includes the Olorunsogo–Ayede 330kV transmission line with a tee-off at New Abeokuta to enable efficient power evacuation. Expected Impact: Once completed, the upgraded substation will strengthen grid reliability in Ogun State and surrounding regions. It will support industrial clusters, businesses, and residential communities along the Ogun industrial corridor by ensuring that generated electricity can be transmitted efficiently to downstream customers.



ON THE POWER MATTER... CURRENT SITUATION GENCOS already have installed capacity of about 14,000 MW but actual generation is only about 4,500 MW TRANSMISSION COY has capacity of 8,000 MW but actual transmission is about 4 000 MW DISCOS can only dustribute what they get but actually distribute about 3,800 MW ( this is where we all get impacted.) QUESTION..... So since we already have 14,000 MW installed; How can Nigeria generate, transmit and supply at least 10 000 MW? SOLUTION FRAMEWORK.. 1) GAS PIPELINE PROJECTS✅️ Invest heavily in SECURED Gas Pipelines and Gas to power infrastructure to GENCOS... NOTE: Govt is already doing this with the NNPC Gas pipeline projects comprising of: a) ELPS ( Escravos- Lagos Pipeline)....completed in 2011 but Expansion & UPGRADE going on to get 100% completed by August 2026 b) OB3 ( Obiafun-Obrikom-Oben) Gas Pipeline.. it is about 95% complete after successful crossing of River Niger in April 2026. The Project started under President Buhari in 2020 c) AKK (Ajokuta - Kaduna- Kano ) Gas Pipeline. It is 95% complete and first gas delivery is August 2026!! Project staryed in 2011 under GEJ The above 3 Projects will help GENCOS untilise almost full capacity and all will be vompleted in 2026!!!!! 2) CREATE STATE ELECTRICITY MARKETS.✅️ Electricity Act, Done! Signed under President Tinubu. State Electricity market on going but slow ( BLAME GOVERNORS!!) Bw LAGOS STATE has progressed action to license 14 providers to commence operations in October 2026! we expect significant supply improvement in 2027. Also Abia State is moving with Geometric Power! 3) RESOLVE GENCOS and GAS SUPPLIER DEBTS FG has waged in to settle up to N3 Trillion verified debt it owes tp gencos and paid N500 billion so far. 4) MORDERNIZE DISCOS & METERING ❌️ Unfortunately DISCOS are messing up. But operational State Electricity markets can push in competition like Lagos is starting 5) ENCOURAGE CAPTIVE and EMBEDDED GENERATION OUTSIDE NATIONAL GRID On going but slow. State Electricity Markets are expected to push this 6) EXPAND TRANSMISION CAPACITY TO through REGIONAL DECENTRALISATION CONCLUSION👇👇👇 Based on the above current situation and on-going projects, before anyone begins to claim to deliver 10,000 MW...what exactly is the person referring to? Cos on-going projects are looking good to deliver it by 2027!!! and that is what Bismark Rewane reffered to during his interview 2 days ago. Like I keep saying....YOU DO NOT CHANGE THE GUARD OF A MOVING TRAIN....President Tinubu shpuld be allowed to complete... the work he has begun, the previous ongoing projects he continued to fund.... ✅️✅️✅️✅️

@NationalGridNg Since you feel he's wrong, can you tell the public the actual MW Nigeria is currently generating, or everything should be seen as politics even when you have the opportunity to tell the public the actual truth?
