To address this, Nigeria is adding nine new gas plants to its fleet. But that alone is not sufficient. Nigeria's current power generation is around 5,000 MW, while the ideal capacity would be around 30,000 MW. Coal could meet the future electricity demand. The country holds 2 billion metric tons of coal in reserves.
