Hey fellow nairalanders, we know about our epileptic power supply in Nigeria and that has been a toll on businesses and for even for some, it is the major reason for closing down their respective organisations and even the seasonal periods of scarcity and the inflation of oil price results into high overhead cost. Probably, the government are finding solutions for our power problems that would encourage more industries in Nigeria which would revitalize the economy and maybe we would be enjoined to the G8 club (LOL). Conservatively, we can't predict when that would happen; but i believe there are always solutions to every problem; therefore, it's possible to sustain adequate power supply in our businesses if we have a feasible system to apply. Right now, I want suggestions on how we can independently solve electrical power issues in our businesses? I don't mean just buying fuel into generators because the oil economy is not stable. What would of been an alternative for banks, telecommunications e.t.c. from messaging customers on closure because of scarcity of oil? And why renewable energy has not been successful in Nigeria e.g solar systems?
I would appreciate your suggestions.

Great post! I would suggest solar energy but I keep wondering it hasn't been implemented on a national scale. I can only think that those oil dealers can't afford a threat to their oil business.
