No plan to increase electricity tariff - FG
原文原文 / Original TextMinister of Power, Mr Joseph Tegbe, has assured Nigerians that the Federal Government has no immediate plan to increase the electricity tariff.
Tegbe gave the assurance in Abuja while briefing Power Correspondents on his 100 days in office.
According to him, the focus of the administration of President Bola Tinubu is to stabilise the value chain, restore market discipline and strengthen governance in the power sector, rather than burden consumers with higher tariff.
Tegbe, who assumed office on June 8, said his first 100 days were devoted to the diagnosis and stabilisation of the power sector.
”Upon assuming office, the diagnosis we undertook at the onset revealed constraints at every segment of the electricity value chain. gas supply to power stations was limited by damaged pipelines and commercial terms that discouraged investment.”
”Our generation fleet was heavily dependent on thermal plants, with ageing equipment, deferred maintenance, stalled projects and capacity unable to reach consumers.
”The sector diagnosis revealed payment of only 27 per cent of generation companies’ bills, undermining their ability to maintain plants and pay gas suppliers,” he said.
The minister also said power transmission network faced vandalised towers and lines, overstretched equipment, and frequent tripping.
