With the present price of PMS(petrol) in Nigeria, I guess one will spend about #1000 naira to obtain 12hours of power supply through the evening and intense heat of the night thereby summing an average of #30,000 naira montly.

If power is constant and you spend (hat amount monthly, I believe its best cos you wouldn't have to wake up with a painful ear due to the generator noise all through the night.

Please I would like to knw if the estimate above is true cos I hardly stay long whenever in Nigeria and I prefer staying in a safe Hotel cos of the level of insecurity....

Your positive response would be cool....cos am working on something.

miteolu: N2000 (141 units) in Six months because I use pre-paid meter which means no light no unit deduction. But generator N1000/WEEK (home/residential use only)

you are very correct my guy but dont forget cost of engine oil too. but note this figure wont work for any generator above above 3.00kva .
A sound 2.5 kva gen will consume an average of 10.1 litres of fuel for 12 hours making it 1000naira for 12 hrs power suppy
A sound 1.0 kva gen will consume an average of 4.6 litres of fuel for 8 hrs making it 6.9liters @ 670 naira for 12 hrs power supply
while a sound tiger gen 950 which is exactly about 0.6kva will consume about 3.3 litres of fuel for about 8 hrs making it 4.95litres @480 naira for 12 hrs power supply. exculding cost of mixing engine oil with the fuel.

These estimation is based on personal experience.

Faheedat: Comrades, what are saying now CAN YOU IMAGINE DELTA STATE GOVERMENT FUELS 6 GENERATORS WITH N3.6BILLION IN 4 YEARS?
just to power street light in Asaba and Warri only
Where are we going?
Only GODS KNOWS HOW MUCH THEY ARE USING TO POWER THE GOVERNMENT HOUSE IN ASABA ON DAILY BASIS
Minister, Senators, Advicers to GEJ wake up and do something about Energy sector now
GOD BLESSS NIGERIA

berem: i dont have a meter so wen those s.t.u.p.i.d nepa crooks come to my estate for disconnection, i just give them 500naira till another month comes.why shld i pay for wat i dont consume in d first place?

ochi-aha:
I spend an average of N1,500 per day fuelling my Generator sets, two actually, but one is bad right now. This translates to N10,500 per week; N42,000 per month and N504,000 per year which could have invested in any small-scale industry

The above computation shows where most of the savings of the average Nigerian family goes and accounts for the low level of investment in Nigeria. This is because savings equals investments S=I.

If public electricity supply is constant and PHCN is billing me about N7,000 per month, then my annual electricity bill would have been N84,000, which would have left me with N420,000 to invest (N504,000 MINUS N84,000). What a real waste

crowaddy:

That would be good for you but you should realise that some folks will start going around looking for some unpatriotic persons to sabotage and reduce the N7,000 per month to N500 thereby reducing the ability of the generating company to raise enough funds to cover its costs which then leads to the vicious cycle that we are in at the moment

miky:

lol any business person that puts their own money into electricity in nigeria is doomed for, it would simply be stolen and sabotaged...citizens and governments are crooks who deserve each other.

~$15 dollars daily and you have not computed that you are probably better off switching over to 100% solar at that point?

Anyone, or company that spends more than $2.50/day on electricity ought to switch immediately to renewable source, rather than continue to pour money down the drain.
