A national study will be carried out on the extent of demand for electricity supply in the country, the Minister of Power, Prof. Bart Nnaji, has said.
Nnaji said this in Asaba on Saturday at the end of the third quarter Power Summit, which lasted for two days.
He said that there was no real figure as to how much power was needed in the country, adding that data from the study, which would take the form of a census, would be captured in the 2013 census.
The News Agency of Nigeria reported that the minister also said his ministry would, by the first quarter of 2013, implement fully the automated scaler system.
Nnaji explained that this would be done with a view to identifying problems in any particular area.
