The power sector is clearly a puzzle to all of us, with numerous facets yet to be unraveled. Most Nigerians expend money that would have been channeled to other avenues to generating energy. Ironically, the citizens combined together generate more power than the federal government. The citizens self-generate 65GW while publicly available to the federation is 7GW of which 4.5GW is been traded every day. Overbearing and outdated government policies, unbalanced energy value chain, low tariffs and high volume bypass which is electricity theft has all contributed to a dysfunctional power sector, hence the industry is technically insolvent.
