Blue3k:Africa’s largest economy now has the capacity to produce more power than it can distribute. This was my fear 2 years ago, when I attended "Ehingbeti 2015" (Lagos Economic Summit). We had transmission capacity of 12GW but over 60%were obsolete 2 Likes |

Many people are asking why the power generation is high and there is no electricity. This is because the discos don't have capacity to distribute the power generated, hence causing power wastage. 1 Like 1 Share |

Re: Power Generation Hits All Time High Of 7001 MW by anyaekekehinde(m): 6:49pm On Sep 15, 2017 |
obailala:Lies You need massive and highly capital intensive infrastructure development in both Transmission and Distribution network to be able to handle 7000MW. Transmission capacity as at last quarter hoveered around 5000MW One thing about Electricity that people dont know is you cant store it. As you Generate, there must be people downstream to consume Power generated = Power demanded + losses. So its a lie that 7000MW was generated, because where is the Transmission and Distrubtion Network to handle it |

anyaekekehinde:What exactly is a LIE there? Are you sure you bothered reading the report before compulsively jumping into this your conclusions?... Did you read the part where it said 7001mw was power 'generated'?... You are busy talking of Transmission and Distribution. A country that has had installed generating capacity of up to 12,000mw for ages does not need any massive capital investment to yank its generation from 3000mw to 7000mw; all that is needed is some turn-around maintenance on already existing but non-functional power turbines, in addition to improving supply of gas to power stations. By the way, Transmission capacity has recently been upgraded from 5000mw in 2015 to 6700mw recently. So the real problem currently is in Distribution, the useless DISCOs who don't havewhat it takes to be DISCOs. 1 Like |

Rick9: Through dams (hydro), thermal plants (steam) and Gas plants (gas). To get 20,000MW requires investment, aka money. Jonathan's era - they saw the money for investing in power as 'yam', a gorilla was in power and he allowed goats to eat yam. Buhari's era - drop in oil prices meant recession. Goats had also emptied the reserves. Nigeria is at 12,000MW installed capacity and generates between 4,000MW to 7,000MW. So to be able to generate 20,000MW, lets say we would need at least 30,000MW installed capacity. An increase of about 18,000MW from current installed capacity. The cheapest cost of constructing 1MW comes to around $1m. That means we would need $1m x 18,000MW investment in power infrastructure. That is $18bn! Saraki, Ekweremandu, Melaye and co still have to chop money before we can find that. Jonathan don waste the money wey we get before. 2 Likes |

Gamesmart: Yes and so?? I can give you more details. The Line is called Sakate 330KV line, on about 202MW from Ikeja West RTC. So because Nigeria supplies Togo/Benin light, does it mean we have huge Transmission capacity??7 |
Re: Power Generation Hits All Time High Of 7001 MW by Gamesmart: 8:23pm On Sep 15, 2017 |
anyaekekehinde: Because we don't have transmission capacity does not mean the generation stated was a lie. 1 Like |
Re: Power Generation Hits All Time High Of 7001 MW by anyaekekehinde(m): 8:23pm On Sep 15, 2017 |
obailala: The lie is they cant generate 7000MW, For you to say they generate 7000MW, it means7000MW is being fed into the power pool called grid and that 7000MW is being consumed or lets say 6000MW is being consumed by the discos assuming there is wild assumption of 1000MW loss. Even at that disco cant absorb 6000MW. The rule is your dont generate what is not being consumed hence the system will collapse due to over voltage or over frequency, but on the day that was quoted for the 7000MW , there was no system collapse, so where did the 7000MW go to .or was it stored on the grid.. Lol |
Re: Power Generation Hits All Time High Of 7001 MW by anyaekekehinde(m): 8:26pm On Sep 15, 2017 |
Gamesmart: Yes.. Because you dont generate what is not being consumed. Else the system will collapse due to over voltage or over frequency |
