The problem of inadequate electric power generation has contributed to slow pace of industrialization of Nigeria. The present poor energy mix as well as lack of development of the abundant energy resources has made electric power a scarce commodity in our country, affecting virtually every aspect of our economy. An introduction of reserved energy resources of coal, natural gas and new hydro potentials to the existing generation mix will definitely pave way for industrialization of the country. The erratic and epileptic state of power supply in Nigeria resulting to insufficient generation to meet the load demand would be solved by harnessing the abundant reserved energy potentials of our nation. This paper thus presents the reserved energy resources to electric power potential conversion algorithm, and incorporated the converted power into the existing installed power generation capacity for a new improved generation capacity. New transmission lines were equally introduced to the present grid system for efficient power wheeling capability. The reserved estimated energy resources of coal, natural gas and new hydro potentials were evaluated to contribute a total of 63,876.96MW to the grid system; and when added to the existing installed capacity of 12,066MW will give a total of 75,942.96MW.
