Nigeria has continuously failed to meet its installed generating capacity of over 12GigaWatts by dispatching about 1/3 this capacity. With a total of 3 Gencos not producing any power for the year 2021, the other 26 Gencos were able to generate over 36000GwH for the year.
In 2021, the total power sent out from January to June by Gencos was less than the total output for 2020 for the same time period.
