This is the true picture of Nigeria's helplessness- Bubu is an illiterate,good and fine but the worst is that he refuses
wise counsel!!..This is where it pains me most. No president in the world knows it all except illiterate Bubu!!. Why would someone in his right senses merge these two most important sectors in Nigeria- works , housing and power?. In Ghana the even have ministry of roads different from ministry of works and housing. worst still, he appointed a lawyer as a minister of power?. In conclusion Bubu is a country's foolery and joke of 21st century because ,he who knows not and knows that he knows not,teach him and he will understand but he who knows not and knows not that he knows not,leave him he will never understand or change even if you employs the best professor on earth to teach him. Nigerians are really in deep poo. No light-no petroleum-no forex- no security-herdsmen killing people everywhere-no work..companies are closing down because of lack of forex..This change is indeed a big chain. God have mercy..

A shameless country,shameless leaders,pathetic citizen,a nation without electricity can never grow,even the first thing God created was light,he knows lot of shady deal will go on in darkness,let those silly leaders stop all their useless project and concentrate only on light.

N.B you don't have light and you want to beat egypt with light,no darkness will triumph over light.

They mean transmission had a system collapse. It's impossible for the gencos to generate 0MW. It's transmission that usually has system collapse.

This system collapse has been there from time immemorial. It's not new. It happens at least twice a month. I am wondering why they are now making it as if it's a new thing.

Is it a crime to be born in this part of the world? The earlier the government gets down to serious business the better for all of us. Fashola please consult Prof Nnaji he understood the problems in that sector better than any minister we have had. Lord please give us direction!

The only power Buhari can generate is military power to unlawfully incarcerate his opponents, shoot and kill peaceful unarmed Biafrans and send his Fulani brothers to commit genocide across Nigeria.

I totally agree with you but the best way to go about it is when God puts the solutions to the mind of our leaders so they can do it right. We need God to change the heart of the vandals taking us steps back,imagine when that issue is solved then we can focus on increasing the power generation.

Lol... This is a record breaker cheesy

But then, did all the gas plants and all the hydro plants simultaneously just switch off at the same time?.... Or could it have been a momentary instrument failure causing the system operators/TCN to be unable to measure total power produced?... This is a real record breaker if true grin

Here is how it works. Every generator has two parts. The engine and the alternator. The generator may be a gas turbine, a diesel engine or a water turbine. Alternators convert the mechanical movement to electricity through magnets.

Now, in a simple diesel generator, between the engine and the alternator there is a device called a governor. It matches the speed of the engine with the electrical load to maintain a stable voltage. Increase load and engine speed increases.

Power plants don't work that way. Gas turbines and hydro turbines have a 'fixed' engine speed. They give out specific current at specific voltage. Once design loads are exceeded they are designed to shutdown automatically to prevent damage.

We operate an single interlinked grid that is not smart. All power stations feed into one chain. If one or more power stations fail and load is not shed (cut-off), the load is transmitted to the other power stations which trip off one after the other until all of them fail. That is when the system is termed to have crashed.

For them to have regained power within 3 hours my bet is that either Kainji or Shiroro must have taken the load because it takes much longer to get a gas turbine going again once it shuts down, sonetimes up to 24 hours depending on the config of the plant and the quality of the gas.

This is what is called the divident of change.We warned the zombies, now look at the outcome.
Enjoy the change from fair(PDP) to worse(APC)

When TB joshua said sometime ago before last year election that PDP is bad but APC is worse, little did I know that he has seen ahead now we see the realities everyday.

Forward all complain to uncle Fashola because na to increase electricity tarrif he sabi.

On a second thought, don't DISCOs have giant POWER BANKS to store electricity for future use? Punch newspaper be careful ooo

If you barely have a job or are getting paid half salary I hardly think savings will be your priority. If GENCOS are so power pauperized what are they doing with power banks. The number of countries with power banks are so few. Only China I know. Even the UK depends on diesel generators to counter snap overloads.

But the report says 1pm till around 3pm while the person you subtly insulted said he had light by 2:10pm? Except of course Eket is powered independently.

Of course, a lot of states have independent power plants that do not tie into Transysco. Some ingect directly into DISCOS at a very local level like Cross-Rivers and Lagos while some states have built private distribution networks (Amaechi started it in Rivers during Yaradua's time) . You may be tied into one and think it is GENCO power.
