Considering some people are being paid N10,000 a month in Nigeria, I think that price is a bit high
some people are getting paid millions/month of course but on the whole Nigerians are paying through their noses on most things

@watchung
I don't think anyone is against privatisation but the infrastructures to be privatised should at least be there first.
British Rail was the sole failure out of hundreds of privatised British enterprises;British Steel,British Telecom,British Airways,British Gas,British Aerospace.e.t.c.
All these were initially owned/controlled by the govt and were in good working conditions before they were eventually privatised.

well if you're earning 10,000 you wont be expected to own a lot of electrical appliances, so your monthly bill should be lower

the latter point you made is one that is lost on a lot of people, the firms that were privatised were working, maybe not as efficient as desired, but they were in working condition all the same.

we might not be able to provide electricity to all Nigerians before privatisation, but the system can be at least stabilized before we do that

Ibom Power station commissioned, generating units (phase 1) completed and transmission of power into the grid to commence by July

at the cost of $150million (N20b). more improvement and spurring of new SME's should be expected when the power is evacuated into the grid.

Awesome !

10,000 MW generation (and more) here we come !!

is the situation any better yet?
Re: Obj Comissions Power Plant: Improved Electricity Supply? by Iman3(m): 1:09pm On May 18, 2007
Power generation is only half of the problem.In the early 90s ,Nigeria generated  power that outstripped demand.We didn't have steady electricity then.

We still need to solve our transmission and distrubution problems
Re: Obj Comissions Power Plant: Improved Electricity Supply? by debosky(m): 5:03am On May 25, 2007
Power transmission and distribution are being improved as well as part of the NIPP increases of 48% and 26% respectively.

I personally don't think we have had power generation exceeding demand since the early 80's can you please inform me of your source. by the way, the snapshot below is from the National Electricity Regulation Commission (NERC)

Re: Obj Comissions Power Plant: Improved Electricity Supply? by spoilt(f): 5:05am On May 25, 2007
but can the plant be maintained? the usual rot will take place.
Re: Obj Comissions Power Plant: Improved Electricity Supply? by debosky(m): 5:09am On May 25, 2007
pessimissm should be expected, given our previous experiences, but I can say on good authority (at least for the Ibom Plant) that comprehensive service agreements between GE (the manufacturers) and Ibom Power Company have been signed for maintenance of the facilities. In addition the aim of the government is to eventually transfer the bulk of the new plants into private management after completion to prevent the mistakes of the past being repeated. There is light (no pun intended grin) at the end of the tunnel
Re: Obj Comissions Power Plant: Improved Electricity Supply? by dblock(m): 7:07am On May 25, 2007
Quite true
Re: Obj Comissions Power Plant: Improved Electricity Supply? by sleekdot(m): 7:14am On May 25, 2007
Ibom power plant or Zamfara power plant the reality is that we sleep in darkness perpetualy in Naija
Re: Obj Comissions Power Plant: Improved Electricity Supply? by dblock(m): 7:18am On May 25, 2007
When will Mambila be completed
Re: Obj Comissions Power Plant: Improved Electricity Supply? by debosky(m): 11:21pm On May 25, 2007
Mambila is still in the design/conception stage. Hydro projects have long lead times, expect completion in the next 5-8 years.

Papalanto Power Plant Ready, on completion of Transmission network will begin delivery of 335MW to the grid.

ground breaking of Olorunsogo Power (750MW) close to this site has also taken place

Re: Obj Comissions Power Plant: Improved Electricity Supply? by dblock(m): 11:49pm On May 25, 2007
Nigeria will be flying high by 2010.

There's Olorunsogo(Massive)
There's Mambila(Massive)
There's Papalanto(It's small but hennnn) wink
There's Zamfara power plant (Massive?)
There's Ibom Plant(Massive)
And Egbin's capacity and productivity will be doubled in the next two years.
Then are the Nuclear Plants that will commence construction by 2017.

And these are only the more Publicised ones. I ommited the IPPS in Cross River etc.

If Nigeria doesn't have adequate Power Supply by 2020, then Nigeria should give up on Power Supply

[size=13pt]Ikot Nyong Power Plant[/size]

National Integrated Power Project
On Friday, March 10, 2006 President Olusegun Obasanjo turned the sod to flag-off the beginning of construction Project. The ground breaking ceremony for the 561 megawatt gas turbine electricity generating facility at Ikot Nyong in Odukpani Local Government Area of Cross river State was therefore symbolic for the entire project located in seven sites across the Niger Delta. In the framework of a sub-contract from Marubeni Corporation of Japan Gitto Costruzioni Generali Nigeria Limited (Gitto Group) is to execute the civil infrastructure for Ikot Nyong greenfield power station, which is sited on a 50 hectare parcel of land. Gitto Group will also build the civil infrastructure for the Eyaen thermal power station located in Edo State, rated at 451 MW. Engr. Domenico Gitto, Managing Director of Gitto Group had assured in a Press interview prior to the groundbreaking exercise that ?We know Mr. President is very determined about this project, so we will not allow it to become a number amongst unfinished projects?. He added that ?we will deliver it on schedule and to specification?.





Construction Started Last Year

There's Zamfara power plant (Massive?)



I think you meant Zungeru, there is no plant being built or proposed for Zamfara.
