Mr Babatunde Fashola, has urged Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) to come-up with ideas and suggestions on how the 2,000 megawatts (MW) stranded at the national grid can be efficiently used.
The minister stated that the emphasis should be on how the stranded power now available could be efficiently distributed.
He said the action was the focus of government and the power sector operators in line with the PSRP initiatives.
He said: “The reality is that we have 7,000MW and we are selling 5,000MW. So, the conversation we should be having is how to connect to the remaining 2,000MW.”
