ABSTRACT
Nigeria is faced with continues electricity problem, which made goods and services to be very costly in the country because industries have to generate their power themselves. Residential homes not left out, since all most all Nigerian homes now has a standby generating set. Although Nigeria has abundant supply of natural resources like coal, hydro, natural gas, crude oil etc. yet cannot harness these resources for power generation, so that the power generated will match the demand which seems to be increasing daily.This problem can only be solved by building more power stations so as to meet the projected power demand by 2030 which is estimated to be 297,900MW and also by using available energy supply more efficiently.
