addey: But our transmission line can only take 7,500MW.
So how do we transmit the generated power

fkaz: ABUJA—The Federal Government achieved 6,443 mega watts of electricity power, at the end of last year, the Minister of State (Power), Mrs. Zainab Kuchi disclosed yesterday.

Kuchi noted that power transmission peaked at 4517.6mw on December 23, 2012 due to additional 450mw generated in the fourth quarter.
According to her, the Federal Government would continue to pursue its action plan towards the realization of the 10, 000 mega watts at the end of the year.

This she said, would be achieved through the implementation of a variety of strategies which would include funding the sector through private sector participation.

Besides, sources of the power generation would be expanded to include renewable energy and rural electrification.

Similarly, Mrs. Kuchi said government would fund power transmission projects outside budgetary provisions.

Also speaking, the Spokesman of the Transmission Company Nigeria, TCN, Dave Ifabiyi, said his organization would work assiduously towards a consistent upscale performance of the sector.

“As gas supply continues to improve and more National Integrated Power Projects (NIPPs) come on stream, the transmission and distribution companies will continue to harness every available generation to ensure that stable electricity supply is delivered to electricity customers”, he said.

Lets say this scheme is feasible, how do u intend to manage the corruption and saboteurs in the system? Cos this has always been Nigerias biggest bane to development in all sectors of the economy. Failure to answer that, then we could as well be going round in circles.
"To attack a problem, one needs to get to the roots". Hope FG are doing or have done their homework in this regard.

Demdem: Why dont u meet it first and talk about it. The jubilation will be sweeter.

ypzilanti: GEJ has the opportunity to make the most important strides in the power sector. If he can be focused, the plans on the drawing board are good enough to solve the power problem before the end of his tenure. That said, Knowing GEJ, he will not get this done. Why? Because he does not have the strength of character, or the development drive required. That burning zeal to make Nigeria better, and not mind whose ox is gored, is completely absent in the man.

taharqa: @yzilanti, i am quoting so as to bookmark cos i fully intend to play it back to you when d time comes. Cheers...

bubadaniel13: I can see some people on this platform who don"t want good things to happen to Nigeria,cant"t we be optimistic for ones?there is no way our leaders can succeed if we dont support them...As for me i will pray to see the change in the power sector.

ypzilanti:

...how many times does a man have to kill a lion before he is called a 'Lion Killer?'

Check previous promises, to determine what the outcome of latest promise will be.

bubadaniel13: We must admit that there is a great improvement,we must give them the benefit of doubt.

nwabobo: Prof Bart Nnaji, the Minister of Power, said on Friday that power supply in the country would reach above 9,000mw by December if all challenges confronting gas supply were resolved.

Nnaji made the statement in Abuja at a one-day meeting between the Ministry of Power and Ministry of Petroleum Resources with other stakeholders in the oil and gas sector.

“As you know, the Federal Government has been doing a lot to ensure that we rapidly accelerate power supply situation in the country,’’ he said.

Nnaji said Mr President launched the power roadmap in 2010 and“ as part of that, we are aligning the entire value chain of power production level. “The critical element in that is that of gas supply.’’

He said the ` `Ministry of Petroleum Resources and Ministry of Power have been working together to ensure that we bridge whatever gap.’’

The minister said the country would collaborate with international oil producers and the producers of gas and transportation to ensure that the gap was filled.

He explained that when all the National Integrated Power Producers would start functioning in December and gas supply was steady to the plants, more electricity would get to consumers.

According to him, many of the independent power producers are ready except gas supply, which is holding them from taking off. NAN
