  "summary": "Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has announced a target to increase the state's electricity supply to over 3,000 megawatts by March 2027, from the current level of under 1,000 megawatts. The administration plans to achieve this through a combination of electricity from the national grid, independent power projects, energy hubs, power barges, energy traders, and embedded generation. The governor emphasized the importance of upgrading substations and distribution networks, expanding metering, and using digital technology to monitor supply and improve accountability in the market. The proposed expansion comes as Lagos assumes greater responsibility for regulating its electricity market following reforms introduced by the federal government.",
