Nigeria’s electricity sector has again recorded a new milestone, reaching a peak power generation of 5,801.84 megawatts (MW) and a maximum daily energy generation of 128,370.75 megawatt-hours (MWh).
This is the highest ever attained in the country’s history.
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) confirmed this in a statement signed by its management.
According to the agency, the feat was achieved on March 4, 2025, at 21:15 hours, with a stable frequency of 49.69Hz.

The TCN further noted that this new achievement follows a series of incremental improvements in the power sector, the TCN noted.
Nigeria has recorded a series of new records in its power generation lately.

Also, on February 14, 2025, the sector hit a peak of 5,543.20MW and a daily energy of 125,159.48MWh, both successfully transmitted to distribution load centres by TCN.
The TCN said the achievement underscores the continued progress being made in the power sector, demonstrating the commitment of the present administration and the generation, transmission, and distribution companies to advancing the nation’s power sector.
Reacting to the development, Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, expressed delight, saying that the milestones are the result of concerted efforts by the Federal Government in collaboration with key stakeholders in the sector, to address longstanding challenges and optimise the nation’s power infrastructure.
