Nigeria’s power minister, Olasunkanmi Tegbe, said procurement had begun for a proposed East-West Super Grid after presidential approval, according to reports by Nairametrics and THISDAY. The project is described as a roughly $2 billion transmission investment intended to add at least 19,000 megawatts of network transfer capacity. That figure refers to transmission capacity, not electricity generation already available to consumers. Reports describe an 18-to-24-month construction target, while the minister said reliable nationwide supply could take three to five years. The project remains planned infrastructure; current outages and grid constraints are continuing concerns.
