Lagos State To Commission 8.8MW Power Station(to Increase Power Supply) by ducii: 12:34pm On Sep 26, 2014
An indication of the Lagos State Government’s commitment to its inhabitants has been clearly demonstrated in recent moves to boost power supply within the state; the latest announcement in this regard is the commissioning of the 8.8 megawatt Mainland Independent Power Plant as part of the Energy Conservation Month 2014.

“The power needs of Lagos, Nigeria’s industrial and commercial nerve center and one of the world’s fastest growing mega cities is huge. To this end, the Lagos State Government has launched several initiatives to meet the power needs of its people across domestic, industrial and commercial spheres,” noted Mrs Damilola Ogunbiyi, General Manager of the Lagos State Electricity Board, in a statement.

The Power Plant is expected to be launched and formally switched on by Governor Babatunde Fashola on Friday, 31st October, 2014. Once operationally, the plant will provide uninterrupted power supply to specific public institutions including the Ikeja High Court Complex, Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Ikeja Water Works and the Old Secreteriat Complex.

According to her, the month of October has been set aside by the state government and themed a month for Energy Conservation, and this has been the case since 2013. “It is essentially a Behavioural Change Campaign dubbed as ‘Conserve Energy, Save Money’ (CESM) and is aimed at promoting the practice of efficient use of available electric power,” she said.

Other moves made by the present administration to boost power supply within the state include the implementation of a strategic energy development plan which has necessitated the creation of a Ministry of Education & Mineral Resources as well as the Lagos State Electricity Board.

This is the 3rd one after island maternity and alausa.

Before pdp fool come here and rant, it is on record that Tinubu built a power plant in egbin before the fg hijacked it.

I knew this was coming. The plan is to get lagos institutions off the national grid. What is the point of building large plant if you can't control distribution

Good thing is that the power generated is not going into that useless national grid to supply free electricity elsewhere. Also it is used to power public institutions.

My friend, thats not an excuse. If Fashola can build an 8 Megawatts power plant and distribute it only to Lagos, he can actually do the same for 200+ power plan. It is called distributed power or embedded power

Which lines is he going to distribute it with? The lasg placed bids for eko and ikeja distribution but was turned down.

Anyway why should a government be involved in a privatised section

This is a classic case of misinformation and undue hunger for publicity by government.

8MW from large generators to supply government offices in Ikeja is not IPP. This power is not going into the national grid.
If those LASG gensets in Ikeja are IPP, then generators in all large hotels in Ikeja, VI & Ikoyi, and gensets supplying power to all large public buildings and banks are also IPPs.

Nigerians are so gullible.

Publicity by any means, hook or crook, is a form of corruption.

A governor is beating drum because he bought generators.
Fashola has turned Lagos into a laughing stock.
