Is this supposed to be good news 3000 mw in 15yrs?

Of course the 4,000MW now being generated for Nigeria's population of 150 million is still far too low. In contrast, Brazil generates 100,000MW of grid-based power for 201 million (people) and South Africa generates 40,000MW for 50 million (people)....


Building new power stations is capital intensive,but a necessity! Part of the challenge is to get existing stations operating at peak...budget allocation and drawing private capital to generation and distribution infrastructure. Little bit of policy direction and 'political will' will go a long way.
