Reporting by The Punch indicates Sahara Group is targeting a 7,000MW power generation capacity in 2026 as it expands investments across Nigeria’s electricity value chain, including upgrades to existing assets and new renewable projects.
The company said progress will depend on a stable regulatory environment and ongoing collaboration with the Ministry of Power as reforms continue under the government’s broader energy agenda.
Leadership and Tribune Online also reported the plans, noting Sahara Group’s stated commitment to renewable integration and infrastructure modernization as part of its 2026 roadmap.
Echotitbits take: 7,000MW is ambitious relative to typical grid output. Even partial delivery could materially help industry, but the gas supply chain and transmission constraints will determine whether this target becomes real megawatts or just a headline.
