This restructuring, he adds, must synchronise with what he calls the evolving landscape of state electricity markets, addressing calls for the decentralisation of the national grid into regional grids interconnected by a new higher voltage national or super grid. The minister said that for the country to increase its Gross Domestic Product to $1tn by 2030 as projected by President Bola Tinubu, it must massively increase investments in electricity.
