hillsate: Every year at the peak of rainy season power generation improves because there is enough water at the dams.
What annoys me is that the government always uses that period of improved generation to spread propaganda that they are working.
IT IS FOOLISH OF ANYONE TO BELIEVE WHATEVER THIS MINISTER IS SAYING OF STEADY SUPPLY OF POWER IN OCTOBER.

The more bad news is that after the one week of artificially improved power supply we are back to darkness again.

philips70: [b]4500 Megawatts which in itself is doubtful and this people still come on air to celebrate it with definite promises. In a country of about 170million people. Yet Okonjo Iweala and her friends are celebrating a rebased GDP that doesn't show any value on the lives of the citizens. South Africa with a lesser population produces about 8X this amount without all this hullabaloo. Below is Southie's production capacity..

Rapsainot: GEJ IS WORKING....Aso rock , no vacancy.GEJ TILL 2019

unapologetic: The Federal Government yesterday said plans have been put in place to ensure steady supply of electricity in the country by October 2014.
Minister of Power, Professor Chenedu Nebo who briefed State House Correspondents in Abuja said government has made efforts to ensure constant availability of gas at power stations to boast power generation.

Professor Nebo, who spoke after a meeting on power stakeholders at the presidential villa, Abuja, chaired by Vice President Namadi Sambo, added that the debt owed power generation companies would also be cleared.

He said “The generation companies have been complaining that they need to have all their bills paid. The good thing about this is that arrangements are being made to make sure that all the generation companies get their money as at when due.

“We are working on that. That is part of the meeting that was chaired by Mr Vice President.

“Next thing is how far we have come with the issue of even settling the gas question. The gas question has remained for quite a while. But very thankfully, the Honourable Minister of Petroleum Resources and I, the central bank governor and chairman of NERC met severally to address those issues.

“And that eventually ended in finding resources to take care of the indebtedness of the generation companies to the gas companies.

“So once we take care of the backlog, we insist that the gas companies will eventually produce more gas.’’

He maintained that there are visible signs of government’s efforts to ensure constant electricity supply across the country in the past one week following improved gas supply.
“The cheering news from all of these is that if you have noticed throughout the country in the past one week people have been getting much better power supply.

“The gas is now beginning to come back and it’s something that gives all of us a lot of joy. And we know that it will continue to grow that way even until December because now some of the facilities, maintenance, repair works on the gas equipment and so on”. He added.

“The gas producers have come to a place where almost all of these is being taken care of, and then the new gas we are expecting we have then trickling in right now.
“So that part of the shortfalls we’ve had in production up to this time, we hope that by the beginning of October, we will see a much better stabilisation of the entire power delivery system in the country.

Speaking on generation capacity, Nebo noted that power supply have hovered around 4,500 mega watts.

His words, “First, I would say we rejoice that for the first time in a long time we have been averaging over 4,500 MW when we include nearly 300 mw of spilling reserve which is always put there to make sure that the reliability and stability of the grid is ensured at all time.


“So, we are really moving forward; it may not be as rapidly as Nigerians expect but it is important to let everybody know that indeed we are advancing, we are making progress and we will continue to make progress”.

ujoinme:

while south Africa generates more electricity than Nigeria, the country also has large challenges with electricity that has resulted in rationing of power and blackouts. here are some of the challenges from the same source as yours. Please learn to give report full reports, and not just pick and choose what fits your narrative:


Power Shortage: 2007 - 2008 [edit]
In the later months of 2007 South Africa started experiencing widespread rolling blackouts as supply fell behind demand, threatening to destabilize the national grid. With a reserve margin estimated at 8% or below,[7] such "load shedding" is implemented whenever generating units are taken offline for maintenance, repairs or re-fueling (in the case of nuclear units).

Eskom and various parliamentarians attributed these rolling-blackouts to insufficient generation capacity.[8] According to their claims, the solution is the construction of additional power stations and generators.[9] These, they said, will take time to construct and commission. 2012 was frequently mentioned as the earliest possible end to the power shortages.[9][10][11]

Investigative television show Carte Blanche reported that part of the problem is related to the supply of coal to the coal-fired power plants.[12][13] Several other causes have been postulated, including skills shortages[9] and increasing demand for electricity around the country.[14]

It appears that the steps that Eskom took to maintain some of its plants, increase coal stock piles and improve plant performance had led to them suspending load shedding from May 2008 onwards.[15]

Effect on the Economy [edit]
In January and February 2008 global platinum and palladium prices hit record highs as mines were first shut down and subsequently restricted in their electricity use. South Africa supplies 85% of the world's platinum and 30% of palladium. Mining companies estimate that hundreds of thousands of ounces of both gold and platinum production will be lost every year until the crisis passes.[16] Estimates on the direct economic impact are not yet available but, given South Africa's reliance on precious metals exports to finance its current account deficit, traders have severely downgraded the currency.

Due primarily to the impact on mining companies, economists have downgraded GDP growth forecasts significantly. The current consensus hovers around 4% (well short of the 6% government target), with the caveat that growth could reduce by 20 basis points every month under certain circumstances.[17]

Banks and telecommunications companies have generally continued to operate as usual thanks to existing backup systems. Retailers initially reported large losses due to spoiled frozen and chilled foodstuffs, but are rapidly installing generating systems. Many large factories have reported it impossible to carry the capital expense required to keep operations uninterrupted. However, the largest (including aluminum smelters that can be effectively destroyed by outages of longer than four hours) have guaranteed service level agreements with Eskom and have been largely unaffected.

Big companies with international investors have also been affected by the electricity crisis and have had no choice but to announce these effects to the international community, bringing the situation to the attention of potential foreign investors.[18]

Crisis management [edit]
As of February 2008 blackouts were temporarily halted due to reduced demand and maintenance stabilization.[citation needed] This drop in demand was caused by many of the country's mines shutting down or slowing to help alleviate the burden. However, regularly scheduled mandatory load shedding started in April 2008, to allow maintenance periods of power generators, and recovery of coal stockpiles before the winter, when electricity usage is expected to surge.

Expanding generating capacity will see an estimated spend of R300 billion over the next five years,[citation needed] with around 20 000 megawatts of additional capacity due to be online by 2025.[citation needed] However, neither short nor long term funding has yet been secured and the downgrading of Eskom's credit rating has ignited speculation of a capital injection by the government.[19]

Controversy [edit]
This entire situation is surrounded by controversy. Decision makers and leaders both in Eskom and in the government predicted in the late 1990s that Eskom would run out of power reserves by 2007 unless action was taken to prevent it.[20]

There is also criticism that Eskom exports electricity to neighbouring African states when it doesn't have the capacity to meet South Africa's demand.[21] Eskom, however, announced on 20 January 2008 that it had ceased to export power.[22][23]

The government claims that the shortage caught them by surprise since the South African economy grew faster than expected. However, their target growth rate of 6% per annum was not reached from 1996 to 2004. The average GDP growth rate during this period was 3.1%.[24]

MissMeiya: philips70, I'm wondering why I'm not already following you...
Your name is familiar, and you write intelligently. Either I used to follow you before the NL blackout of '14, or we had some kind of e-fight

Taking a chance!

philips70:

[b]I do not get your point from this post. Is there anywhere in the article you posted that denied the claim SA evacuates more than 8x what Nigeria currently evacuates? How did they get there? The main import of my post is why should Nigeria be celebrating 4GW of electricity in this age when SA is producing such high amount? For your information more power comes with more presence of power consuming industries. From what you posted the problem was a temporary one. Please learn to acknowledge facts and buckle under when you have to. Something is fundamentally wrong with our power sector and it's glaring. Once again it's a shame to be on air announcing 4GW of electricity in a country of more than 170million people. Such a country have no business celebrating a bogus biggest rebased GDP when globally it's known power is the highest oil a country needs for industrial revolution and genuine economic growth. For your information apart from giving you information from Wikipedia the power sector is my constituency and have opportunities to have worked in power plants both in Nigeria, SA and many other countries around.[/b]
