So they can't build IPP? Don't they have faculty of engineering? 1 Like |

What research results have they produced to improve the society? How have they impacted our society positively? That is what a thoroughbred academic should talk about instead of blabbing on electricity amount. Was he not planning on paying for electricity? What a corrupt soul? |

[quote author=eTECTIVe post=61851505]Tym for d University to seriously consider generating its own power...[/quote With.This much expended on electricity ,its better and more profitable to develop thier own power grid system within the university ,prefarably solar or gas generation which will be cost effective at the long run Spending about N300m anually on electricity,a five year projected power will cost N1.5 billion,food for thoughts!!! |

OlujobaSamuel:so what will they us to power the IPP? gas ? diesel? they still need to buy it. and it might even end up costing more, except they go with solar or wind, assuming they have a conducive space. |

ernieboy:the initial cost might be high, but at the long run, it's favourable. 240m in 5yrs is 1.2bn, that should give them an ipp that will cater for their needs. |
Re: "Babcock University Spends 20 Million On Electricity Monthly" - Vice Chancellor by ernieboy(m): 4:59pm On Oct 28, 2017 |
OlujobaSamuel:am not talking of the initial cost, but the recurrent cost. if they go with gas, we know how volatile supply can be, if they go with diesel it could get v expensive buying diesel to run the plant . |

That is why the cost of education is on the increase in private schools ,to run the available facilities consume power which is money in Nigeria..if the Govt can provide power am sure things will become reasonable |
Re: "Babcock University Spends 20 Million On Electricity Monthly" - Vice Chancellor by ocelot2006(m): 5:38pm On Oct 28, 2017 |
N20 million per month on power consumption? That can't be right. Either someone is lying OR someone is ripping off the institution. 1-5million+ maybe, but 20Million?? Nope! |
Re: "Babcock University Spends 20 Million On Electricity Monthly" - Vice Chancellor by Reference(m): 5:42pm On Oct 28, 2017 |
Most likely. When 50 bed hospitals get a monthly bill of close to two million and 30 bed hotels get over a million naira in electricity bills monthly then you can expect an establishment housing thousands of residents to be billed eight figures. The cost of doing business in Nigeria is just prohibitive. We certainly cannot make economic progress this way. |

ocelot2006: What are you saying. I don't think you pay commercial electricity bills in this country. 20 million for a university is massively discounted. I can only say they may have proved a low power density argument. 1 Like |
Re: "Babcock University Spends 20 Million On Electricity Monthly" - Vice Chancellor by OlujobaSamuel: 5:51pm On Oct 28, 2017 |
ernieboy:it will never gulp such amount monthly even if it comes with its cost. are you insinuating that maintaining an ipp is more expensive than national grid/generating plants at #20m/monthly? I seriously doubt that cost of maintaining ipp is much more than that of generating plants as most firms in the manufacturing sector and livestock farming are now opting for it(for those thaf have the capacity) Our institutions should start solving technical issues within, that way, they build the society. |

Re: "Babcock University Spends 20 Million On Electricity Monthly" - Vice Chancellor by ernieboy(m): 6:25pm On Oct 28, 2017 |
OlujobaSamuel:of course national grid is cheaper than IPP, the only reason people opt for IPP is because of the unreliable nature of the national grid. mind u that that 20m claimed by Babcock may not only be NEPA, it will probably also include cost of running generators when there is no public supply. |

Statsocial:20 million is enough to start a mini dam that can generate enough electricity for the university or start a solar system as a back up for power prof |

Re: "Babcock University Spends 20 Million On Electricity Monthly" - Vice Chancellor by OlujobaSamuel: 8:14pm On Oct 28, 2017 |
ernieboy:i'm referring to both, not national grid in isolation. we all know national grid is the cheapest form but it's everything but reliable here in our clime, however, the mgt incurring 240m/yr is a poor financial decision in this age when they could have gotten a better alternative. if some manufacturing firms and livestock farms can run an ipp, a citadel of knowledge spending 240m/yr for power(generator/national grid) isn't encouraging. My point isnt just about the sch in question, but all our tertiary schs, ABU once claimed to spend 90m/month for power too, the VC then said they will have to invest in ipp, i seriously doubt it was given any significance beyond the paper it was written on. |

Re: "Babcock University Spends 20 Million On Electricity Monthly" - Vice Chancellor by LemonBoy1: 8:34pm On Oct 28, 2017 |
This figure seems to be exaggerated. First of all, how much is a tanker of diesel? Lets say a total volume of 30,000liters of diesel, they buy to power the sch for 24hrs. Guys in the house that know much about diesel cost can support with this calculation. Does the school have factories? And i don't mean pure water factory. I mean manufacturing (beverage, food etc) or at least a water treatment plant that is standard. This is only when that figure is convincing. From a layman point of veiw, some laboratory equipment (that doesn't run 24hrs), some water pumps, HVAC, cookers and regular office/home appliances can't zap that much PER month. Do the do overhaul every month? Or they just trying to justify their humongous sch fees? I am not understanding...

Re: "Babcock University Spends 20 Million On Electricity Monthly" - Vice Chancellor by Acidosis(m): 9:09pm On Oct 28, 2017 |
I'm not surprised. My neighbor and I will be paying N20,000 as electricity bill this month. Mind you, I have not seen light since Monday due to a faulty transformer. The implication of this is that I have been running an alternative power. So far, I have been able to manage N3500 worth of fuel (Monday - Saturday; less than 6 hrs per day). Now this is just an individual. For an entire university that operates 24/7, N20m is an understatement. I know a small company (laboratory) in Lagos where they spend about N5000 daily on diesel. Funny thing is whether you enjoyed supply from national grid or not, you must pay the over-bloated estimated bill at the end of the month. The firm deals on chemicals and samples that need to be preserved 24/7, so they can't afford to lose their clients due to the stup!d!ty of national government. Unlike public institutions where some doctors operate patients with candles and kerosene lamp, Babcock is a private christian uni with a teaching hospital; so when they tell you the exact amount the institution paid on electricity, don't doubt without proper information. 1 Like |
