LAGOS — The Lagos State Government plans to raise electricity supply in the state from under 1,000 megawatts to more than 3,000MW by March 2027. Deputy Governor Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, speaking for Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu at the Lagos Business School Africa Energy Conference, said the extra power will come from the national grid, independent power producers, energy hubs, power barges and embedded generation. The plan covers the electricity market, generation, distribution, transmission, metering, gas-to-power and digital monitoring. The Lagos State Electricity Regulatory Commission issued 14 licences and permits in May.
