Opportunities are Plentiful in Nigeria's Power Supply Industry

This international conference and exhibition will focus in to the heart of Nigeria's most crucial economic challenge: how to power the country's phenomenal industrial expansion.

The African Development Bank estimated in 2004 that Nigeria’s installed capacity was 5.900MW. In 2005 a new power holding company was created; the industry being unbundled into a series of six different generation companies, eleven distributor businesses and a single HV transmission company serving them all.

The previous administration of President Obasanjo set a target to build capacity to 10,000MW. Now the new Government under President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua is talking of doubling this figure by 2011; with a particular push taking place within their inaugural year of office to reach 8500 MW.
