Can't they do a project of 500mw, 1500mw at and forget, building 40mw power plants kakiri until there is no space to build house again

The problem in Nigeria is the people are illiterate they do not understand what developing a country is about. Any power station which Nigeria built less than 1000 megawatts is a waste of time. The problem is what we are building is just like generators or wind turbine the power generation is not just enough. What is happening China is just ripping Nigeria of big time because they know Nigerians are illiterate they just build Nigeria anything which is inadequate. How can you say in 1960s and 70s other African countries were Building 300 megawatt coal power stations and today Nigeria is building 40 megawatt power station this is a total joke

itsene:

Big river, big dams, big megawatts!
Feasibility studies must have shown that only about 40MW could be supported.
Dry season might affect capacity also.

Nice one, no wonder power supply never blinks in Gombe.
I never knew Dadin Kowa also encompass power generation I thought it was just for irrigation and supply of water.

Nigeria has huge river why are they building dams in the North which are dry when do hall of Southwest and south-south have a lot of water. The German company Siemens did a visibility study and found out Nigeria can build a 5000 megawatt Dam on the River Niger in south south. This study was done in 1995 and nothing is done up to today we are building dams in the north of Nigeria which is desert

We have silent governors making large impacts in their states.


The National Grid can never give us stable electricity supply, we have many states who can power themselves but are handicapped by contributing their generation to the national grid.

Let each state generate and transmit their own power. Lagos alone can even supply some other south western states.

This governor is silently performing but all we hear is Seyi Makinde after budgeting a good chunk for PR

GidifeedNews:
Executive Governor, Gombe State, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, visited 40MW Dadin Kowa Hydropower project in his State that has been completed. The project will soon be commissioned by President Buhari this month.

The project will produce 40 mega watts of electricity to improve and stabilise power supply as well as promote socio-economic development of the region and country at large.

SUFFERInSMILIIN:
For god sake what is 40 megawatt. Nigeria is a total illiterate paradise were illiterate ruled the country for morning to night. 40 megawatts cannot even give 15 roads in Nigeria electricity. Ethiopia is building 3000 megawatt dam. Tanzania is building 1500 megawatt dam. Nigeria is building 40 megawatts. In 1960s and 70s other African countries were Building 300 megawatt power stations And somebody is celebrating for 40 megawatts

darfay:
Nawa o, at this stage of our statehood, president of a country of 200m people would use fun fare to commission a mere 40 mega watts project, even Kenya won't have such mediocre things done

With 40MW power abi? when the mosque in Saudi Arabia in Jeddah is using 18,680MW ...

shiwex:


The issue with dams is that you dont control the water supply . What if one of the source countries decides to build a major dam....then water that you need for your dam is affected. currently Egypt and other countries are having issues with ethiopia building a dam.

shiwex:
Can someone please tell me roughly how many homes can 40MW power. I dont know so just asking. want to have a rough idea where we are and where we are going.

isthatso:


every dam is by definition a source of power, because you are holding back the flow of water which is all you need to power a turbine. People who live in remote areas in some countries even dam streams near their homes with micro hydro power turbines

Yes, light should be stable around Ashaka Cement, I think they also generate electricity there.
I stayed in Gombe town around Tunfre, I left there last year. Still miss that amazing city.
