The Immediate Measures To Help Boost Electricity Generation In Nigeri by mosh2035(m): 11:06pm On Jan 30, 2016 |
THE IMMEDIATE MEASURES TO HELP BOOST ELECTRICITY GENERATION IN NIGERIA. Nigerians should henceforth stop complaining about everything but proffer the government with alternative solutions to our challenges. Yelling and propaganda won’t solve any challenge but increase tension and disaffection. We are tired of epileptic power supply for over three decades. Its negative impact has crippled our economy and led to a monumental level of unemployment (although some youths are unemployable). We won’t go into politics so we will not mention the massive financial resources wasted without an atom of improvement in the power sector while other nations with less financial expenditure on power witnessed a remarkable improvement. According to Popoola (2009) ‘’no nation/country can develop without stable and efficient power generation and distribution’’. We hereby implore the Minster of Power and his team to immediately carry out a study on ‘’Power ships’’ in view of deploying it to some states. According to Wikipedia (2014) ‘’A powership is a special purpose marine ship shaped vessel, on which a power plant is installed to serve as a power generation resource’’. Furthermore, Karadeniz Energy LTD defines a powership as ‘’ the name given to a barge or ship mounted fully integrated floating power plants. They deliver fast track, utility size & grade power plants, with no completion or construction risk, ready for power supply directly into the transmission network from its onboard high-voltage substation’’. A powership is an existing ship that has been modified for power generation, a marine vessel, on which a power plant is installed to serve as a power generation resource. Powerships can be equipped with single or multiple gas turbines, reciprocating diesel and gas engines, boilers or nuclear reactors for electricity generation. Bureau Veritas, an international certification agency with experience in overseeing both shipbuilding and power plant development, classifies such floating power plants as "special service power plants". Power barges can be built very quickly in comparison to a powership or a land-based plant. A 100 MW gas turbine power barge can be built and be ready for deployment in about three months. The powership technology has been successfully tested and used in countries like Iraq, Lebanon, USA, and even in Ghana. COUNTRIES POWER GENERATION IRAQ (Basra city) 200MW LEBANON (Beirut) 203MW GHANA 450MW (Ongoing) USA (New York) 200MW We need stable and reliable power supply in Nigeria if indeed we are ready for CHANGE AND DEVELOPMENT.
