He noted that if the country cannot transmit 80 to 85 per cent of its generated power to electricity customers, the situation amounts to a waste of investments.
Adelabu said the government and stakeholders within the power sector must work assiduously towards eliminating the 8 million metering gap in Nigeria. He said: “If we cannot transmit 80 to 85 per cent of the generated power to customers, then we are wasting investments. We must invest in metering technology; if we can eliminate the 8 million metering gap in Nigeria and develop technology to ensure that collections are monitored, and we can collect up to 90 per cent of power distributed, liquidity is assured in this country.
“The Nigerian government is actively advancing the power sector through various measures. With a $20 billion investment plan, new power plants and transmission lines are set to be established to boost power generation and grid stability”.DAILY POST reports that the grid had collapsed three times in less than a week.
