MyMouth:

I have come to the conclusion that you are not only silly, you must be a brother to that lier barcanistar! For your information, Three Gorges Dam in Hubei, China, has the world's largest instantaneous generating capacity (22,500 MW), with the Itaipu Dam in Brazil/Paraguay in second place (14,000 MW). So we don't need 30,000 power plant to achieve jus 20,000MW!

obi4eze:
I will surely laugh at barcanista by the end of this year. You have shot yourself in the foot again thinking that you are wise. And before the end of 2016 barcanista will cease to exist on Nairaland. Just watch

How many years did it take to build gorges dam? I bet not in four years. The preliminary work alone wich includes environmental impact assessment, resettlement, etc will take close to the four years.

Krak:


Just like when they said the Hoover Dam could not be built.

Acheivers dont care about what you think about them, they just go on and do what they see while their critics were shouting themselves hoarse.

You know why? Because they see what people like you cannot see.

My friend nothing is impossible.

faceURfront:


What do you mean by the above?

abouzaid:
my dear, we are not in a motivational talk show. we need facts and figures on how he will achieve his campaign promises and the man is even making more promises

gonon:


There are power generation capacities that are not grid worthy, so to speak because it's not worth connecting to the grid due to issues like cost etc. For example anything under 50MW is not worth connecting in Nigeria, although some power plants with higher capacities are also not grid connected. They are fit for what is called Embedded generation whereby they are fed to distribution substations. Eg Geometric power plant in Aba is not grid connected, the 8.5MW power plant in Lagos is also not grid connected.

arewafederation:


So 30,000 new power plants are required to achieve 20,000mw of electricity?

You guys ignorantly debunked the possibility of paying unemployed graduates which even Mr. Jona is about to sign into law, and now this?

PDP have seriously ruined your lives to the extent you now see a GOOD life as a mirage.

I really don't know how you pessimists will survive being in the opposition for 4 years.

abouzaid:
quickly resorting to insults shows lack of logic. do you even know what is a gorge, what part of a river it is found and condition of its formation? pls tell me where and when buhari will build a three gorge dam to generate 22,500MW of electricity instantaneously in Nigeria, that is what we call facts not resorting to citing an extreme example to wipe up sentiments.

Krak:


Then sit back and watch him do it, or not do it. It is almost as if you are very eager to see him fail. Why do you give yourself unnecessary headache.

For Gods sake he has not even been sworn into office yet.

faceURfront:


Okay. I will do some reading on that to corroborate ur reply. Thanks

MyMouth:

You may have a point, but what am trying to make you see is that, Buhari does not need to build 30,000 plants for the country to generate 30000 MW.

stevenakolo:


God bless you bro, this idiots think an APC failure would hurt the politicians more. Those guys are millionaires, instead of praying for the new government's success, they are hoping GMB fails.

Very patriotic.

abouzaid:
did apc sit back and watched Jonathan1? the answer is NO. they lashed at him at every every slightest opportunity without mercy which made them to make all these promises. as for u my dear, if you don't have the stomach for politics, gentlemanly move over to the religion or romance section. here is exclusively reserved for hard men with very thick skin only.

Krak:


Look at who is calling himself a hard man. Anyway, Mr Ironman, continue on your journey.

dearpreye:


Who has attacked and lampooned GEJ on NL more than barcanista? You guys need to quit the old game......

TheGoodJoe:


When Barcanista switched sides, he stopped attacking mediocrity and upheld the mediocrity of GEJ.

dearpreye:


And how does that justify your relentless and vileatt attacks of his person? It's so sad he wasted his effort and time on such a people with NO sense of friendship and empathy!

It's a rude shock to me!!!!!

TheGoodJoe:


Why won't he be attacked relentlessly when he jumped from the truth to support a lie. His effort would have been appreciated if he stood by his conscience. He did not, so he gets what he looked for.

The handling of Boko Haram was very poor, the economic situation in the north was not seen to being addressed, the extravagance of public office holders, the proliferation of private jets...Donald Duke.

This is the kind of government Barcanista jumped ship to support.

The approved power for grid connection by NERC is 20MW but due to the fragile nature of our grid and connection costs, i prefer 50MW to be on the safe side, but here is a link by NERC which regulates the power sector. Download the document for your information.

netotse:

Hey...what part of the power sector are you involved with if you don't mind my asking...

gonon:


Of the top of my head:
1) Zungeru hydro power plant = 700 MW
2) Mambila Hydro Power plant = 3050MW
3) Omoku II thermal power plant (gas) = 225MW
4) Egbema thermal power plant (gas) = 338MW
5) Ihovbor thermal power plant (gas) = 451MW (partly complete)
6) Kaduna power plant (LPFO/GAS) = 215MW (partly complete)
7) Gurara II Hydro power plant = 360MW

Others are power plants that can't be connected to the grid because they are below grid capacity and are under development are:
1) Kashimbila = 40MW
2) Gurara 1 = 30MW
3) Itisi hydro power plant = 40MW

Ngasky:

Please filter out the NIPP Projects. All those thermal stations are Obj's 8 NIPP plants. They were stopped by the Yar'aduwa/Jonathan regime. So they were already contracted and paid for before 2007.
Infact the later government did a treasonal offence by stopping the contract under the disguise of investigation. After all who was prosecuted? How much has been recovered?
At the end of invertigation Nigeria had to pay the contractors 25% of the contract sum as damages incurred during investigation. That is we pay for 2 new plants to service our investigation

Obviously, a lot of people still take him serious!

I do!

Generation and to a lesser extent transmission. If you notice I have avoided talking about distribution because I haven't worked there. Why do you ask?

abouzaid:
nobody is praying for anybody to fail but it would be self deceit to deliberately believe a lie. on an afterthought, GMB and his APC goons never prayed for GEJ to succeed. think about that.
