Right.....you apc folks are so smart you will basically write the book in the field of micro power generation and distribution in no less a place that in developing africa.
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.

The laws of physics not to mention economics will slap the fantasy illusions from your eyes soon enough all the propagandar defence in the world will not even come close to being enough.

tabolaji:


You question just further throw light on the problems this country has been facing over the years. Using other countries template to solve our peculiar problems. Not until out scientists and technocrats apply local approach in implementing globally acceptable solutions. Just because no country has done it doesn't necessarily mean we can't explore it if it would work for us. 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.

Your bad-belle no allow you see the part where aresa stated that OBJ derailed Tinubu's original idea. You people seem to think that everybody else is as clueless as your PDP when it comes to solving this power problem. Smh.

Reference:


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.

Abeg, nobody expected him to fix it in 4 yrs. But he would have at least left us with our 4000MW instead of leaving us with a meagre 2800MW...

EMANY01:


Do you want to take the dreamers on? Do not question them if you know what is good for you.
I am waiting to see the magic of their power generation plans materializing as evidently they will be "reinventing" the established models of building power generating stations world wide.

ibisko04:

Simply because you are of the mind that it is not possible thus not means it is not possible..
You wait and see what happens in the power sector soon.
National grids is becoming more of burden than solution to our power problems . Power generation bit by bit is the way to go.
Let power be generated and be distributed bit by bit according to the needs of every locality.

EMANY01:


This here is why I say the laws of physics and economics not to mention safety issues will knock reality back into their heads.
You do not think we can start seeking efficiency but you would rather have massive trucks hauling pressurised and highly flamable gas all over the roads in the country?
Am I the only one who sees the assuredly inherent disarster of epic proportions in this plan of theirs.

This south south people braking pipelines should carry on very soon jobs will not be available in their areas. Don't try it, they will beg us to use the pipelines very soon.

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

Stop feigning ignorance like you have not heard the news that it's improved to 7000MW.
In VP Sambo's words, we have 7000MW as at today. I pray Baba One Chance beats that.

EMANY01:


I'd like to see you guys try it will certaily be a repeat of the soviet model of trying to surbodinate science , economics and common sence to political theory.
The results by 2019 will be epic.

NO COUNTRY even a qurter the size of Nigeria has ever SERIOUSLY considered going the route you guys are advocating.
There are real and objective reasons for that.

Wow, double speak but you expected GEJ to fix it in 4 years. Oniyeye.

Na you get bad belle plus cluelessness so tey the thing blind you patapata.

Point out where the OP stated that OBJ derailed Tinubu's plan or you should where the tag of LIAR on your neck for at least 24 hours. Deal or No Deal

As for PDP, all those responsible for the darkness we have today, such OBJ & Athief'ku, are now in APC while the agents of LIGHT are with Jonathan in the reformed party that has taken giant strides to restructure the sector and is at the cusp of manifestation and harvest of improved supply & transmission!

USA

In several countries of the world, people produce their own electricity, consume some and sell the rest to the national or local grid.

Na u sell APC membership form for Obasanjo?

Highly inflammable petroleum products are transported to several parts of the country everyday. Besides, I saw one of those condensed natural gas (CNG) trucks in Aba few weeks back, it is very portable and looks light, unlike your everyday petrol tanker trucks. I don't think it constitutes a problem at all.

Lies. We have 5000MW. According to the Minister of Power, the MW has dropped to below 3000.

MosquitoREBIRTH:
7000 WHAT?? Guy, u must be talking about Niger... Seems you didn't read the news from the Ministry of power last week. Oga, please don't be deceived, we dey suffer light die!!!

So we get 7000MW ,na him nigeria , togo, ghana and gabon still dey inside darkness, go tell ur pet dog that kind lie
