Speaking on the electricity supply situation in the country, Minister of Power, Babatunde Fashola has announced that people are now free to set up independent power generation companies “without necessarily requesting for license.” Fashola, who made the announcement while on an inspection of Federal works in Jigawa State, stressed that the Federal Government is encouraging the private sector to invest in generation and selling of power to the public. He said, “Any interested individual or company can set up power generation from two megawatts downwards and sell it to public without requesting for any licence. “We are encouraging people to set up small power generation and sell it according to their capacity, not necessarily going for big projects that require huge amount of money and expertise”.

Nothing prevented this before now. The Power act states that anything above 10MV must be pushed into the grid. Which is why Lagos was able to do the Marina IPP that supplies public facilities (general hospital, state House, street lights etc). This >10MV arrangement meant that as many people in say Gbagada and environs could be placed on one IPP. Imagine several across Nigeria! The ONLY challenge is that the distribution infrastructure belonged/belongs to the government (then) DISCO (now), so this arrangement is best for semi private estates like VGC that can deploy their own distribution infrastructure at scale. [addition] Imagine that Industrial estates are able to collocate power generation and therefore remove themselves from the National Grid for cheaper more predictable power (already happening in some places) and thus freeing up available generated power for others! This people is why you usually have better power supply on holidays! The factories are usually down on holidays! 186 Likes 8 Shares |

That is great if it is actually implemented. That means that people with big generators can sell power to the national grid. Same for people with big Solar power installations. 1 Like |

It’s a nice idea but who sets the prices? Is there a regulatory body set up for it? When can we start buying? I really hope it works if it’s true and not some other failed promise. 1 Like 1 Share |
