Aburi001:
Our main problem is ENOUGH Power GENERATION, you can not transmit and distribute what you don't have.

Look at South Africa with over 40,000 MWatts while Nigeria is still struggling to generate 5,000 MWatts


But I think we need to put these numbers in perspective. We have not adequately documented private Genco's output.......so the 5GW may not be absolutely correct.

Meanwhile, Ambode will soon free Lagos from the Grid with the intention to build 3 Power plants with combined capacity of over 2GW

There are 2much politics involved . We know where we ja e gas why not build the place ts arround that area to secure source .

That is EXACTLY what Fashola has been trumpeting since he came on board. Gas Power plant in ND, Coal plant in East, Solar in North, Wind in SW

280MW addition to the grid in THREE YEARS.

LMAO! grin grin grin

Fashola is a smello who couldn't fix Ago Palace Way in 8yrs. 280MW in 4yrs is what a province in Beinjin or Tianjin will achieve in 6-months I put that on my ex's life!!

Bloody jokers. I bet they don't even have a viable pipeline or GSPA in place. The Discos are moribund. Ikeja Disco hasn't given anyone power in EIGHT FUCĶING DAYS! And Fashola is forming technocrat in Abuja after leaving a 4km stretch of road for 8yrs because it's not Alimosho or because they are predominantly 5-percenters. But if na to follow nack Matharoo sisters....... undecided


Your brother the ineffectual buffoon called Goatluck Jonaddadft sold our NEPA/PHCN to his gang of thieving friends. In his 8 years at the presidency, he did not add 1MW instead he wasted some of the MW that the senior thief Obasanjo left for him. Now, Buhari (Fashola) is trying to add to the depleted MW, you are here convulsing like an Ogbanje. My friend better go and die.

Nigeria has an installed power generating capacity of close to 10000 MW ,yet we can only distribute vastlu less than 5000 MW. I think the priority should be building more distribution grids and setting up arrangements similar to that of aba geometric in our major cities.

How do we plan on improving on transmission and distribution?,I think those are the critical issues on ground.
why comtinue on a single transmission ringed network. it is very difficult to achieve anything economically viable that way. what happened to utilizing power close to where they are generated by utilizing micro grid structures. there is no region Nigeria which can't support a form of generation. so why maintain a national transmission grid which is very much susceptible to failures, faults and limited capacity

Micro Grid
that's the exact solution to the transmission problem. nobody wants to go there because decentralisation is now tantamount to national disintegration. I wonder why and how technology is treated with tribal and religious tone. micro grids will reduce wastage, encourage alternative energy sources, encourage energy storage and most importantly ensure profitability. yet this isn't something being explored to solve the problems inherent. too bad

I think Generation is the main thing. How will you transmit and distribute what u don"t have.
....And you cant have what you dont transmit and distribute,even if you generate it in gigawatts.
Nigeria has an installed capacity of 10,000MW,yet we are still struggling to wheel out 3000MW,what difference will it make if we install more capacity and still cannot evacuate power?.

distribution is in shambles because they can always blame transmission and in turn blame gencos who in turn blame citizens and politicians. stop with the so called national grid and see alot of wasted power getting to the distribution sector and they must pick the load, thus this will force them to clean up their house I. order to remain in business. maintenance issues is a Nigerian problem. doubt anything can be done about that

No, generation first, we are generating energy that is far below our demand.
It is good to generate energy,but it is paramount that the energy gets transmitted and distributed with at least 80% efficiency.

in that scheme of things, no end customer will be direct. infact there will be a law that all customers must be metered. this in turn leans down the profit margin for the discos especially if they aren't performing. it's difficult to do that now when the power isn't readlily available in excess. decentralized transmission will reduce wastage and thus we expect alot of power getting to the discos who must In turn find profitable easy to deliver it to their customers

Actually, edju is right. Our installed generation capacity is beyond 10000MW, but like was earlier posited, the problem is multi-faced:
1. The location of generation sites was politically motivated (without sense) hence we have a generation site for example in Ondo to be powered by gas from Rivers!
2. Our Transmission network is moribund. Our carrying capacity is around 4500MW.
3. Some peeps have suggested embedded generation (DG) which is nice but then we lack the following:
(i) real time data to quantify adequately the potential of available renewable energy resources in various locations.
(ii) expertise in DG/microgrid setup to cater for its integration, sustainability and economics.
(iii) any workable plan/legal backing that compels government to act to meet some benchmark targets.
4. The growing disconnect between the academia and industry which means that we would always need foreigners to develop and manage our electricity network.
