Nigeria’s power system records a peak of 5,403.3 megawatts of available generation on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, according to the National Control Centre’s (NCC) Daily Load Allocation Table. The reports state that 4,379.07MW is successfully delivered to electricity distribution companies (DisCos) across the country.
The outlets add more detail on how the allocation is split. Nigerian Eye specifies DisCo allocations, led by Abuja (700MW), followed by Ikeja (581MW), Ibadan (550MW), and Benin (531MW), with smaller shares going to other regions. It also reports that 1,024.18MW is categorized under exempted loads, including power stations and auxiliary consumption (108.07MW), transmission losses and substation services (367.87MW), and bilateral/international supplies, such as allocations to Niger and local industrial consumers. Daily Post Nigeria focuses mainly on the overall generation and delivered figures.
Nigerian Eye further attributes the improved supply to the restoration of the 375MW Alaoji power plant, which had been offline for three years, and to reforms described under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration. Across the coverage, the figures are treated as a system milestone while transmission efficiency and distribution balance remain key issues.
