The more I think about it I have visions of a nobel price of some such award going to the buhari government for inovation in power infrastructure development in developing countries.

My now obviously inadequate education in engineering lead me to believe that in a hundred and thirty years of reserch , development,management experience and inovation in the field of electrical power generation,transmission and distribution, there is a valid reason that the disteibuted power infrastructure models have be only cousarily examined and discarded repeatedly.

This has been what Osinbajo has been proposing all these while. To be honest, we Nigerians don't really know the exact issue with power generation and the National grid.

If Nigeria generates anything more that 7,500MW and feeds it to the grid, everything is going to come down as our distribution lines cannot take that much power. We don't not have the facilities so building huge power plants is not the way.

What we can do is to generate the power in bits. As Osinbajo have said, generate power when it will be consumed so we don't spend too much time and money on distribution. Each Local government or LCDA depending on the consumption. Perhaps even a locality can come together to have a 10MW plant for that area and they are good to go.

To keep building huge plants and hoping to connect then to the grid is a waste that has proven to be the way not to go.

With this bit by bit module, each locality can look at what they have and use it to generate power, gas in most places, some can use renewable power especially in the North where there are huge opportunities for wind and solar power.

In the south, I will like to see a Badagry power plant Ltd. that wants to harness the Atlantic ocean through tidal power. At least the beaches there have not been tamed like the ones on Lagos Island so it is possible.

These bit by bit generation will culminate into something tangible but first we need legislation for it to work as right now, the power generation laws state that if you generate anything greater than 1mw, you have to connect to the grid. This is where policy, plans, entrepreneurship and dedication combination will come into play

But what will power these numerous plants: fuel or gas. Fuel means a cobweb of pipelines, the eldorado of vandals, if it is gas then the risk around residential areas is better imagined. Trucking means gridlock and inefficiency especially when a plant may be drinking a truck an hour. There is a reason modern economies scale up. Efficiency rises with scale. How ever I agree that we can't start seeking efficiency.

Re: BUHARI GOVT: Eyeing Lagos Template To Solve Power Crisis. by TonySpike: 11:19am On May 12, 2015
To those people emphasizing on a central power control system for grids, I would like to state my own opinion on grids as a researcher. I seriously think grids are more useful when issues of power harmonisation, frequency synchronisation, power accounting and large-scale power transference are involved. Grids cannot be fully harnessed when we even generating less than 10% of our supposed output in Nigeria (about 4000 MW). I think Nigeria needs about 50,000 MW or more for full-scale industrialization. Power stations are like small vector nodes on the grid, and the unavailability (and instability) of sufficient nodes imply lesser options at controlling our national power. Nigeria must build more and more generating stations to make a real grid system worthwhile and I believe the modular power concept will come in handy here. Lastly, I don't support a single power control centre as we currently have in Nigeria for security reasons. God forbid an enemy state launching a missile at our control centre or even a natural disaster levelling this centre, what will happen? A best case scenario will completely knock-off power supplies to at least 60% of Nigerian cities and towns on the grid. I think the overall layout of our grid system in Nigeria should be hybridized along with the modular power approach, this way redundancy is integrated.

The grid system is simply the best, that is why it is used through out the whole world, it is cheaper, and when one power plant is undergoing maintenance, consumers will not even notice it . I remember what bayelsa state use to surfer in those days when they were not connected to the national grid.

Upon all the noise that the lagos have been making for 16yrs, they have only been able
To generate only 64mw despite the fact that billions of naira have been spent.

This system they are proposing for buhari is very expensive and consumers will not be able to pay. The cost of laying gas pipline alone will consume billions of naira

I agree with you only to the idea of decentralization. But going Bit-by-bit to as low as local government generation is wasteful, inefficient and unsustainable.

A number of companies here in Nigeria are already generating their own power from gas. Why IPPs continue to hide behind lack of gas supply is still untenable to me. The only conclusion I have made is that there is no political will or intent to solve the power problem. If the pdp led gov. had allowed Tinubu to go ahead wit the enron power project, other states would have replicated it and we won't be where we are today.

It is only when it comes to IPPs that gas becomes an issue. Gaslink (a subsidiary of oando) and others have partnered with Nigerian Gas Company (NGC) and have been delivering gas to private companies. Some of these private companies are using the gas to generate power. Here is a small list:

Rusal Industries, Ikot Abasi, Akwa Ibom State get gas from NGC (Nigerian Gas Company)
http://www.rusal.ru/en/about/51.aspx

Alausa power Limited get gas from GASLINK - commissioned in 2013
http://www.oandoplc.com/oando-gas-and-power/subsidiaries/alausa-power-limited/

Flourmills
http://www.fmnplc.com/home/about.php

Lafarge already generating about 90MW from gas is looking to more than tripple power generation
http://www.ventures-africa.com/archives/49321

Our transmission line cannot support our national power need. We need to decentralise (even if it is partial decentralization). My proposal is similar to that of Tinubu. It is about empowering DISCOs to generate a bit of the power required for their respective territories to augment what they get from the national grid.
We already have companies generation power from gas in this country, so nobody should ask me how will the discos get gas. The question should be how we will relax the law preventing them from generating limited amount of power.

Government does not need to subsidized, they need to remove importat duties on power generation materials completely. They should also try giving the companies that will be generating through the microgrid have tax holidays and other incentives.

State governments can reduce land costs and speed up land certificates etc. It is all about making the pot sweeter.

About the laws, currently, if you produce more than 1mw from one plant, you must feed it into the National grid. That has greatly affected Lagos in this policy and it needs to be scrapped and thrown into the waste bin.

Estates should be able to invest and generate their own power and use it for themselves alone but they should document it.
Production plants within an industrial area will come together to build a plant that suits their needs when they know they are not stopped by the 1MW limit and generate what they need.

This is a way to create jobs too and also a way to sell gas. Forget pipelines, just allow them build their own plants and I am sure they won't mind getting gas supplied through other means

Moreover, some countries that have more stable electricity is even going the route of microgrid to sustain it. Let's stop this 'copy cat' mentality abeg.
