tactius:That is not the problem. If Discos supplied prepaid meters would anyone be owning them? Discos make more money from ESTIMATED BILLING than normal billing 2 Likes |

shadeyinka:But there's a far worse rot in distribution than in generation. If the GENCOs were doing well and generating funds to pay the GENCOs for power generated, the GENCOs would have been able to turn more turbines on, service idle ones and even build new plants. 1 Like |

shadeyinka: Because they are owed about one trillion, and have poor bill compliance rate (in some areas, as much as 52% of people don't pay). Of course, refusal to meter customers is also just basically shooting themselves in the foot. They should. Still...some people bypass the meters self. |

obailala: Why is no power generated in those states? |
Re: Senator Shehu Sani Calls Out Government On The Issue Of Light In Nigeria by shadeyinka(m): 10:24am On May 04, 2019 |
tactius:With due respect I beg to disagree with you. The problem is the corruption between the FG and the DISCOS. There is no single government agency that will be connected through the PREPAID meter that will owe a single kobo. So whose fault if prepaid meter is not given? The discos! But because they make far much more running with estimated billing system, the discos themselves prefer status quo. By the way: how is the FG subsidizing consumer electricity: for it isn't in our budget. FG pay for some of the machineries used for generation and transmission of electricity at the national level BUT not at the consumption level. And no one has done an objective calculation of how much it cost to generate a watt of electricity. The so called 30% cost is a scam by those who intend to make exorbitant profit from electricity business 2 Likes |

tactius:If you are the owner of any of the discos, would you sit down lamenting or going out to do what should solve the problem? Discos make money from estimated billing system: hence they prefer the status quo! Like I said, is it possible for one to owe the GSM companies who ever you are? No! Why? They all use a prepaid system. Just tell us that the discos management are dull or 419 churning out excuses 2 Likes |

obailala:But the problem is caused by the FG. If Buhari should announce tomorrow that by 1st June 2019 no one should pay and neither disconnected from power line of they have not been issued a PREPAID meter: watch how they will all sit up and get things in order There is a conspiracy between some people in Government and the Discos to keep things as it is. Don't forget that a few years ago, their excuse of privatising NEPA was that from their feasibility studies ALL our electricity problems would be over immediately they sell our national asset to a few Nigerians who had stolen our money through politics 3 Likes 2 Shares |

obailala: Every state has its own distribution grid, the national grid feeds these distribution grid. Imagine every state generating its own electricity or a Geopolitical zone generating and transmiting her own electricity, we would have eliminated multiple points of failure which seems to be one of the bottle necks in the national grid. Many industries and churches are already doing it in Lagos , they have their own gas turbine, they generate and even sell to neighboring community. 1 Like 1 Share |

gabicon:Hmm... are you sure of the bolded statement above? Are you sure states currently have a mini grid (outside the national grid) that can transmit power around the state if thry were to be disconnected ftom the national grid? If Delta state for instance is disconnected totally from the national grid, are you sure the power generated at Ughelli can be transmitter to Asaba without touching the national grid?... I dont think so. 1 Like |

I have not seen NEPA light abi PHCN in the past 17 days, even if it's One Hour. Visited their office 3 times, made several calls. Neal. Oshiomhole, Minister of Darkness Fashola and Una illiterate Oga, God will punish all of you. God will punish more anyone who voted an illiterate to lead Nigerians. |

shadeyinka:The problem goes beyond just the prepaid meters. Everyone getting a prepaid meter would force the DISCOs to sit up but that's not really where the problem ends. Laws still need to be amended to permit every Tom Dick and Harry generate and sell power. Currently we're told this is the case, that things have now been liberalised and that individuals can generate and sell but that is not completely true. The DISCOs still exist as large monopolies who already own all the areas. I understand that as an individual who owns a large turbine in a place like Ikeja for instance, even though the current law states that you can sell your excess power to neighbours, the what they did not tell you is that you must get permission from IKDC before you can takeover any of their existing customers, and IKDC will never grant you that permission. This problem has to be solved by the National Assembly. 1 Like |

asuustrike1:Using Lagos as an example, Lagos is controlled by two powerful monopolies; Ikeja distribution company (mainland) and Eko distribution company (island). As an electricity consumer living in the mainland for example, no matter how messed up you think IKDC are treating you, you cannot decide to leave them and join EDC because IKDC is the sole license owner in the mainland so you are stuck with them no matter their performance. It's just like saying you must use MTN because of your house address. Irrespective of how bad the mtn network and services are, you have no right to use another sim card due to you home location. 1 Like |
