I understand ur points clearly but in a country like nigeria where each region has the capacity to generate enough electricity to serve itself,dont u think it's better building power plants that are regionally intergrated rather than spending billions of dollars transmitting energy from one region to another there by increasing the price of power generation.

To buttress my point home,lets summarise the capacity of each region to generate energy.

1.niger delta is endowed with enough gas to serve 5 giants thermal stations that can serve the whole region.take for instance,bonny island in rivers has gas turbine that gives the whole island 24hrs electricity including LNG.

2.south east has enough coal and gas to power the whole region

3.south west has some if not enough gas from its offshore platforms to serve it coupled with the dangote pipeline which is on course

4.The northern region has enough dams and enough coal(kogi region) to serve it and considering the point that they are low energy consuming region.

When you put all these together u will find out there is no need for a national grid which is even taking the chunk of money invested in the power sector.we can establish atleast 3 mega power generation plants in each region that can be operated intermittently.

fiizznation:
Generating electricity is not always the problem, when this generated power is transmitted on high-voltage power lines, the major problem has always been how to distribute the generated power on local power distributing lines to our homes and businesses

By distribution, I'm talking about the transformers, metering the electricity we use, etc. Distribution is the retail end of any electricity business. And if distribution doesn't work well. Whatever input you will put in power generation will always be a waste of time.

Though I commend dangote for even trying. I believe with time, distributing the power will be better.

QuotaSystem:
This is a 100% privately driven initiative - funded and led by Dangote himself.

Nothing to do with APC - except for the Forex support given by the Buhari led government due to its commitment to stop petroleum importation and boost power generation.

Take note.

why has Nigeria put all her are needs in the hand of a single man,how can we progress in a monopoly economy where one man is allow to dictate the price of everything,Dangote Flour,Dangote cement,Dangote noddles,Dangote rice,Dangote refinery,Dangote electrical power,Everything is only Dangote that is liecence

I don't understand why the Nigerian government can't see this as a means to end our power crises we are old enough!

The whole of Africa eagerly awaits Aliko Dangote.

Nigeria is gradually regaining its position in the comity of African nations as the true GIANT of Africa.

Nigeria and the Fulani nation celebrates such an illustrious son.

Chukwuka16:
Very apt and on point solution. This is what makes the American electricity grid very resilient. That is why you see CAISO for instance able to precipitate a great move especially for renewable sources. And besides the segregation of the grid encourages innovation and efficiency.

A situation where we loose more than 20% of generated electricity to transmission is untenable. The reason for high ATC&C losses in Nigeria and the undeveloped energy sector is because of the quota system that exists in NERC. Even electricity generated from sapele is still subject to sharing formula. It is like we are cursed as a nation with sharing.

If the north knows that they have to pay for power imports from Egbin for instance nobody will force them to FastTrack the development of Mambila and other HEPs especially for energy security reasons. Furthermore, the north has the potential to develop solar technologies since HEPs are primarily peaking stations.

I can't therefore understand Fashola's continuous shout for embedded generation when we still have a centralised grid.

The cluster of illiterates and empty brains that are in governance today in Nigeria is really shocking, disheartening and doesn't bode well for our development.

Foeniz:




What we have currently in Nigeria is not different from what you re saying. Except thé eastern part of thé country where they r no power plant. The national grid with headquarter in Oshogbo is only à theoretical analysis. Its not practical.

Nigeria Electrical transmission and distribution needs the introduction of 'Fact devises' or capacitor banks for stability. The authorities should look into it.
