Wind, Hydro and Photo-Voltaic.

YANKARI POWER COMPANY LIMITED
The State Government has established a Company known as Yankari Power Company Limited in order to provide alternative source of energy to spear-head all matters related to the provision of electricity to the people of the state. Towards attaining the goal, government has signed a deal with China Machinery and Equipment Corporation towards the establishement of an independent power plant for the state. The company will provide 85% of the project cost while Bauchi will contribute 15%. Arrangements have been concluded and the Chinese partners will soon be in Bauchi for the actual commencement of the project to be sited at Gudum Industrial Estate, Bauchi.

SOLAR POWER PLANT
Considering the abundant renewable energy sources such as solar energy which is very significant in Bauchi State, HELlOS ENERGIE, a German company in collaboration with Federal and State Governments will establish a Photo Voltaic Power plant in the state to generate about 20-30 mega watt of electricity to the state.

TRANSMISSION / DISTRIBUTION OF ELECTRICITY
In order to implement the present administration’s policies on Power transmission and distribution, a contract for a supply of substation materials to install a 300KVA, 11/0.4.5KV transformer and construction of 2KM Township Distribution network (TDN) at Makama new extension, behind Railway Staff School, Bauchi as well as 1Km Township Distribution Network at Turun behind Texaco Filling Station have been completed and commissioned at the total cost of N6, 926,062.50k.

Gov. Isa Yuguda of Bauchi State says the first solar-powered electricity plant in the North-East zone will soon be established in the state. He said this on Thursday in Bauchi when he received an 11-man Nigeria/German Cooperation delegation led by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Power and Energy, Alhaji Ibrahim Jidda. Yuguda said that the 30 megawatts plant would put to rest the persistent electricity supply shortage and boost socio-economic activities in the state.

He said his administration would give the German and Swedish investors all the necessary support in achieving this feat, adding that he attached much significance to the project. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the project with an 18-month execution plan would be sited at Gudun Hausawa Area on the outskirts of Bauchi metropolis.

Yuguda said that the project would meet the yearnings and aspirations of the people of the state in terms of increased economic activities and job creation for the teeming populace. The team leader of the German/Switzerland delegation, Mr Jeremy Garner, said that Bauchi would be the first to enjoy the project which was part of a Direct Foreign Investment.

He said the team would ensure the timely completion of the project, adding that local personnel would be given adequate training to manage the plant after completion. (NAN)

You are speaking from your asss.


Where is the report that says the bauchi plant will be fuelled from (1) Wind (2) Hydro (3) Photo voltaic ?


You cant just be calling any rubbish that comes to your head, you have mentioned 3 fuel sources, which one is it? Where did you get the info?

Don Magic Juan: http://www.bauchistate.gov.ng/index.php/ministries/power



This was culled from the Bauchi State official website.

The Bauchi state government is opting for an"alternative" power source. Most likely wind. They also recently commissioned a solar farm

http://www.bauchistate.gov.ng/index.php/component/k2/item/55-bauchi-gets-solar-powered-electricity-plant-soon-governor




So your daft LASG governors are still opting for fossil fuels which should be cheaper to construct but more expensive to run daily.

When Nigeria divide where do you expect to get your LNG from?

emiye:

Is that the 140 MW Power plant to be constructed in Bauchi ? Why are you so dishonest and criminal minded in the aim to prove your nonsense ?

Don Magic Juan:

NO IT IS THE ONE THEY WILL CONSTRUCT TO POWER UR DAFT BRAIN

emiye:

Is that the 140 MW Power plant to be constructed in Bauchi ? Why are you so dishonest and criminal minded in the aim to prove your nonsense ? You went from claiming the bauchi plant will be wind, hydro and photo voltaic and now solar.

You are showing a project which is still projecting 20-30MW, not yet sure of the amount it will generate. It could as well be a white elephant project.

Don Magic Juan:

You did not even bother to read it. The alternative sources include both wind and solar.

You are a class act ignoramus and i was jus going back and forth with you so that others wont buy ur cheap sleaze.

emiye:

Give up, o ye fool.

emiye:

You have failed in your assignment.

As a reminder, show all concerned nairalanders the source of fuel for the proposed 140MW Bauchi power plant .

Don Magic Juan:

Go to the Bauchi state government website.

http://www.bauchistate.gov.ng/index.php/ministries/power

click on power.

and READ for once you damn f00l.

The Bauchi government is exploring alternative energy sources with the chineese venture and have successfully deployed a functional solar powered farm which outputs 30mw which is far greater than what your masters have provided for themselves at the cost of 3.2b naira and which still requires daily fuel charge to output just 10mw.

odennis

emiye:
I understand your kind of dolts very well, too lazy for critical reasoning.

As to boldened in red, you have lied again, Bauchi state govt has not deployed a 30MW solar powered farm. Why do you enjoy to lie?

Don Magic Juan:

You are an incredible f00l or u suffer from ADD

The solar project is just one of the alternative energy sources that has just been recently commissioned.

The 140mw project is still in the pipeline as the original post and thread heading suggests and will be alternative based when completed.

Why are you so daft?

Don Magic Juan:

you dont even understand my point or you are deliberately dancing away from the main argument as your types have been doing on this thread

For sake of others who may see this post let me state what the basic argument on this thread is all about.

1. The Bauchi State government is set to commence construction on a larger capacity power station that will serve both the state and national grid at which the overal cost estimate for the project is estimated to be far lower than what LASG just commsioned for their State Secretariat alone.

2. The argument of Scale of Economics was presented by APC apologist at first to defend the high cost of this project against that of Bauchi and other federal power projects. That argument was debunked and another was proposed being;

3. That the total 3.2bn Naira will also cover the construction of a gas pipe line. Even though the project has reached completion the gas pipe lines are no where.

4. The APC goons then now employed the argument that Gas turbines are cheaper to operate than diesel. This argument just propped up from them even though it was not an issue. I stated that gas or any other fossil fuel powered generating station are cheaper to construct since they can be sited close to the area of primary need than other forms of renewable energy sources which are usually located in areas where such natural occurring energy sources are abundant. The argument now is diesel vs gas. As if I made any assumption as to the daily operating cost but the total construction cost.

5. It is evidently clear that these APC baboons are just to daft to engage in reasonable or logical debate.

emiye:

And you are still lying. .

No 30MW solar powered plant in bauchi was commissioned . Add this to your assignment, show us where a 30MW solar powered plant was commissioned in bauchi, concerned nairalanders wants to know

Don Magic Juan:

I am now convinced your problem is data plan or lack of it.

Since you wont google here is the newsreel of the project when it was launched over a year ago. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/08/celebration-in-bauchi-as-solar-power-excites-cheers/

get your masters to upgrade you to at least a 12 hr unlimited data bundle

emiye:

AH AH !, That report was on[b] August 8, 2012, over a year and 3months [/b] It did not talk about any commissioning , but a plan. You see why i called you a daft creature.

It is most likely a white elephant project

emiye:

It is most likely a white elephant project

Don Magic Juan:

Well that is por journalism for you. We would not have been arguing about this project if the reporter had inquired and stated the energy source that will be required to generate 140mw in bauchi.

The project was commisoned over a year ago and was expected to have been completed by the time given for completion.

As I said read

Olodo

Don Magic Juan:

just like lekki airport, abi?

solomon111: How will you complain when your morønic brain has been degraded by APC propaganda.
Btw,most of the people complaining stay in lagos and pay taxes to the LASG.
They've a right to complain when their taxes is being embezzled.

Don Magic Juan:

so how will they supply the gas to alausa? I know of only the Egbin Power station that is supplied by NGC pipeline and this project is not in partnership with NGC but Oando?

And stop insulting me

ocelot2006:

awodman: The Bauchi state government has concluded
arrangements with a Chinese firm to
construct a 140 megawatts state independent
power plant.

Briefing journalists in Abuja, the state governor,
Alhaji Isa Yuguda explained that the project will
cost $201m and will be completed in nine months.

Governor Yuguda added that the Chinese EXIM
bank is providing the funds, which the state will
pay back over a period of twenty five years.

The federal government has provided a sovereign
guarantee for the project.

The governor added that sixty per cent of the
power generated from the plant will be delivered to
the national grid while the remaining 40 per cent
will be distributed within the state.

It will be recalled that governor Isa Yuguda
sometime in February this year expressed optimism
that an Independent Power Plant, IPP, would soon
be established in the state.

Yuguda, who was in the delegation led by the
Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Nweala which
visited China, said the trip would soon yield positive
dividends as the proposed IPP would be built in the
state.

He stated that discussions were held with a
Chinese Engineering Corporation,to build the
power plant.

I really cant see anything funny about his post tbh. I was shocked to hear that Insincere Nigerian is claiming to be a doctor


Doctor of what exactly? Unless he is a quack doctor that deals with the teenage baby making industry in Aba, then we have a problem on our hands.

Actually it is not surprising considering the fact that GEJ is also a doctor

Dr? Insincere Nigerian that had to revise his figures 3 times after he was corrected by posters, yet he had the audacity to argue even when presented with basic arithmetic

I am not surprised because we have Dr Orji Kalu, Dr Ubah- I guess in your region, it is just like a chieftaincy title you can buy.

Please tell us how we can get your okonkwo doctorate

Don Magic Juan:

And turbines can be made to turn either by wind ( ever heard of wind turbines), water (how about hydro-turbines). Do you think Bauchi state government will be f00lish as your LASG to start a non-sustainable and highly gas dependent energy plant? Do you think they have the money to waste in constructing a gas pipeline from the Niger-Delta thence there o power a medium scale power plant?

Ask yourself if there are any fossil powered energy plants located in the north. The answer is no. They are mainly hydro-powered stations. In the past Bauchi state government was looking into the possibility of harnessing wind energy along the hilly areas of the state in which case wind turbines would have been deployed.
