sarrki:There is politics in this and you could not spot it. The man in charge already gave the reason.someone is not using the generated power but why? Answer=BDCs would have to lay back the lower they supplied so it's beter not to transmit these powers but still charge it's consumers . Is that not fraud ? A good solution to this is for the FG to pads a law forcing them BDCs to adopt PYG meters . 1 Like |

SpecialAdviser: What scam? PDP privatized power generation and distribution in 2014. That meant that the Power Ministry was only responsible for the transmission system..not for generation or distribution. It also meant that from now on, we Nigerians would be directly responsible for how power is funded in this we country. But unfortunately....most Nigerians...and government agencies for that matter...do not pay their bills . No funds....no repair....collapse happens. Even if PDP won in 2015....the problem would still remain. I used to blast PDP back then for poor power...until 2014...when the privatisation exercise showed the extent of the issue.(I had a good laugh when Fashola made his rocket scientist comment...the guy did not know the extent of the issue). 2 Likes |

erico2k2: Bros....you just spoke my mind. If FG could do that....2019 is guaranteed .(My light bills will go down drastically....I am on estimated by the way. Attempts to get meter so far have failed). But even then....my DISCO some months ago complained that some customers bypass the meter.(Yes, it does happen!) So...metering may not solve all the problem....but they have to do it still! |

What is now the solution. Why all this article without any reasonable solution |
Re: National Power Grid Collapsed 3 Times In First 20days Of January - Investigation by Nobody: 11:17am On Jan 31, 2017 |
PUSH1: In the short term...the solution is simple....everyone pays their bills.! A large percentage of Nigerians do not pay bills, bypass meters, fight DISCO officials on monitoring...etc. But...if everyone paid up the bills...what they owe...DISCOS would have enough cash to pay for power from the GENCOS....AND to pay for improvements and new power plants...that we need. But...really....prepaid meters would go a long way to encourage people to pay for power...if they do not get bypassed. (I hear Ikeja DISCO has brought in a meter that can not be bypassed...). |

9jakohai:Good Look metering will solve the problems for us at least we will not feel cheated . The only reason these thiefin Discos are not investing into the ailing system o's cos they are benefiting from this failed system.they know this which is the reason they bud for it. Imaging refusing and returning power to the central dis ursine unit just cos they don't want to pay but want to still charge us even though they supplied nothing . So my brother let us pay 4 what we use and we sit by the fence and see who suffer the most Of we do the mentioned trust me the DISCOS WILL invest more to harvest profit . you can use what is going on in the telephone sector to check this.who is investing in the 36 and 4Gs is it not the mobile phone operators . |

9jakohai:Good stuff However I say PYG is the way to go cos the first people to B satisfied are the consumers . Now where the government should come in is to provide precise d and tailor legislation to make provision for metering and pricing . .ie making people put 5 bier meters in the fence or by the rd side where bypassing I'd almost impossible . Employ meters checkers instead of meter readers . Look in the west ie UK people still bypass thier electric and gas meters so we can't eliminate it 100%but will reduce it drastically . Of this is done the DISCOS and BDNCs will upgrade . They will even seek loans to do this cos they will now see potentials for investment . |

erico2k2: Oh it is? Now I see how uninformed most of U are. U do realise d govt still runs d power stations right? Or dey didn't tell u dat part and got u all confused with the GENCOs and DISCOs nonsense. D whole privatization was majorly to distribution companies. Anyone telling u a private holding still generates power is brainwashing u and playing with wateva is left of ur brains. How com APC campaigned with improving power supply since they knew it was already in private hands? Why is d govt talking about investing in alternative power generation since it's been privatized? Don't jus read and swallow wateva trash u see online hook, line and sinker... |

Nbote: Actually GENCOS own the power stations... Here is a list:http://iwin.org.ng/index.php/news/itemlist/category/179-generation-company-genco And from the above link... Olorunsogo Power Plant (Phase I) The Olorunshogo plant is a 335MW gas plant, located in Papalanto, Ogun State. In 1999, the FGN began an aggressive restructuring of the power sector with several aims, including introduction of efficient, private sector standards and management principles, and methodology, leading to reliable power. In 2001, the FGN approved a National Electric Power Policy (NEPP), followed in 2005 by the Electric Power Sector Reform (EPSR) Act. EPSR Act provides the legal authority for the unbundling of Nigeria’s power utility as well as the introduction of a new, regulatory scheme managed by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), an independent regulatory commission, to guarantee open access and ensure efficiency throughout the industry. Outright sale option was adopted by the Bureau for Public Enterprises in the sale of Olorunshogp phase I which was culminated on the 1st of November 2013. The new owners are Pacific Energy. Power generation has been privatised. All that is left is transmission....which is run by the Transmission Company of Nigeria....a govt company. Even then....the DISCOS are supposed to generate funds for the rest of the power industry. In other words...the DISCOS generate funds and pay to the GENCOS....for power which they distribute.GENCOS...pay for gas and (hopefully) improve and expand generating facilities. |

BeeBeeOoh:This so called national grid needs to be abolished. It doesn't take you to be a genius to know these. When APC was campaigning tallking about chanje what do they think it is. Fashola suppose to know that national grid is the bane of our power problems. I expected APC being a party of elite as they claim to be suppose to have push for power reform by now. A state like Lagos needs to generate its own electricity, to be able to be ushered into the 21st century, like the rest of the modern mega cities of the world. |
