The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) that has been monitoring the Electricity Distribution Companies (Discos), Electricity Generation Companies (Gencos) and Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) indicated in its report that many of them performed below expectation in six months (between Q4’16 and Q1’17).


Discos

The report disclosed that Kaduna, Port Harcourt, and Yola Discos were the least performing electricity distribution companies with 5.8 per cent, 27.5 per cent and 32.2 per cent respectively.

However, it identified Ikeja, Benin and Abuja Discos as the highest performers with 54.7 per cent, 47.9 per cent and 44.4 per cent respectively.

These were followed by Jos, Ibadan, Eko, Kano and Enugu with 42.6 per cent, 40.4 per cent, 38.4 per cent, 37.4 per cent and 33.0 per cent respectively.

The Discos were scored based on their ATC &C effort (10 points), collection efficiency (15 points), metering commitment (20 points), HV clearn Index (10 points), MO remittance (15 points) and NBET remittance (30 points) respectively.

Specifically, many companies did not do well in most key performance indicators, thus impacting negatively on the sector and Nigeria’s economy.

The inefficiency associated with revenue collection has affected the operations of not only the Discos but also the Gencos.

Consequently, the Gencos and other operators in the power chain may have to struggle to run its operations as compliance to remittance from the Discos averaged less than 15 percent out of the 30 percentage points target.

The highest remittance was Abuja Disco with 14 percent, followed by Eko Disco with 13 percent; while Ikeja, Ibadan scored 11 per cent each, Enugu scored 10 percent. While Yola scored 4 percent; Kano and Jos scored 5 percent each.

Also, Kaduna, Port Harcourt and Benin scored 6 percent; 7 percent and 9 percent respectively.

Recommendations

Consequently, the report charged the Discos to speed up their customer enumeration exercises.

It stated: “Discos should adhere to commitment made to the commission on metering, network upgrade and expansion, enforcement of customer service standards to include respect forum office directives, 30 days timeline for new point load connections to promote ease of doing business, completer metering of MD customers, improvement in timelines for fault clearance and communication of planned outages.

“Discos should improve market liquidity: contract enforcement and sanctions for non-compliance, stop load rejection.”

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, on Tuesday said it had increased daily average natural gas supply to gas power plants by 123 per cent.

Ndu Ughamadu, NNPC Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division of the corporation said this in a statement in Abuja on Tuesday.

He said the increase accrued to 730 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscf/d) in June 2017 as against 327mmscf/d in the corresponding period in 2016.

Quoting June 2017 Monthly Financial and Operations Report released on Tuesday, Mr. Ughamadu said gas supply to power plants increased slightly by 0.13 per cent from 729mmscf/d in May 2017 to 730mmscf/d in June 2017.

The report indicated that nationwide petroleum products supply continued to record remarkable stability.

This the report said followed the performance of Nigeria’s three refineries which produced between five and six million litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), also known as petrol, per day in June.

“The refineries also produced between five and six million litres of Automotive Gas Oil (AGO), also known as diesel, per day in the period under review.

“The corporation has maintained seamless nationwide supply and distribution of petroleum products which guarantee stable products and queue-free filling stations across the nation,” Mr. Ughamadu quoted the report.

He said the performance of the Port Harcourt Refinery continued to improve with a boost to the midstream value chain as it inched toward sustained commercial operations.

It would be recalled that the pump price of diesel crashed by 42 per cent nationwide, following interventions by the corporation in May.

On pipeline vandalism, Mr. Ughamadu said that the corporation recorded about 86 cases of pipeline breaks across the country in the period under review.

He said of the 86 cases, 77 were due to pipeline vandalism, representing almost 40 per cent increase relative to cases recorded in the previous month (May 2017).

He also said while the Port Harcourt-Aba line recorded the highest pipeline breaches of 55 points (66 per cent), there was also an unusual upsurge in the activities of vandals along Kaduna-Zaria.

The line, he said, witnessed 13 vandalised points during the period.

“There was also a slight decrease in national gas production, compared to previous month which stood at 227.15BCF or an average of 7,571.50 mmscfd, the report said.

“This was despite sustaining the success recorded by its enhanced crude oil evacuation and oil lifting in June, 2017 following re-opening of Forcados Oil Terminal (FOT) on March 31.”

Mr. Ughamadu called on Nigerians to continue to support NNPC in the area of security with a view to ensuring zero vandalism of the nation’s oil and gas infrastructure.

he China National Electric Engineering Company Limited (CNEEC), which is handling the 700 megawatts hydro-electricity power plant in Zungeru, Niger State, yesterday gave reasons the December 2019 delivery date of the project might not be feasible. Speaking through the Deputy Project Manager, CNEEC-Sinohydro Consortium, Mr. Xiao Nie, during a tour of Chinese projects in Nigeria, the company said the first unit of the project, which is currently at 47 per cent completion, would be delivered in 2020 instead.
One of the reasons he gave was shortage of personnel, saying the project requires more hands, but due to certain constraints, about half of the required number could only be engaged at the moment.

The project, which is put at $1.29 billion (about N473 billion), is expected to produce a yearly power generation of 2,640GWh and supply electricity to the National Grid.

Contract for the plant was awarded by the Ministry of Power and funded with a counterpart funding from the Nigerian government and loan from China Exim Bank to the tune of $984 million.

On completion, Nie said the plant would significantly improve electricity supply to the area, boost industrialisation in the country and impact generally on the host communities.

Commissioned in 2013, the project comprised four units of 175mw each. While the first phase would be delivered in December 2019, the remaining units are expected to be completed at three months interval.

“The project consists of a dam for storage reservoir for a maximum operation water level of 230 metres and total storage capacity of 11.4×109 meters.“The dam would be helpful for flood control, development of fisheries and agriculture. The navigable period and the length of the fairway will also be extended, Nie stated.

Meanwhile, about 3000 Nigerians have been engaged, with majority of them coming from Zungeru, just as Nie noted that the consortium has assisted the host community in different ways, including skills acquisitions for youths.

Kano State Government, Dangote Group of Companies and Black Rhino Group on Thursday in Kano signed a $150 million Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Solar Power project.

The project is expected to generate 100 megawatts of electricity for supply to industries and people of the state.

Speaking shortly after signing the MoU, the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Alhaji Usman Alhaji, said Solar power was what is in vogue for now all over the world.

”We need energy to make progress and development anywhere in the world, so we believe this is a right step in the right direction,” he said.

He said the State Government was very keen on the project as it would improve the living condition of the people of the state.

In his remarks, the Group Executive Director of Dangote Group, Alhaji Mansur Ahmed, said the project was meant to improve the economy of Kano as a great Interpol and centre of commerce in the sub-Saharan region.

“The project, to be jointly financed by Dangote Industries Limited and the Black Rhino Group, is expected to provide state of the art renewable energy plant.

“It will convert the abundant energy of the sun into high quality clean Electricity,” he said.

He said that gross inadequacy of supply of reliable and affordable electricity was one of the critical challenges confronting the state’s economy.

He commended the state government for allocating a sizeable land for the project.

The Minister for Energy, Ghana, Mr. Boakye Agyarko, has said his country will like to have more gas supply from Nigeria for power generation.

Agyarko stated this on Tuesday at the Nigerian Annual International Conference and Exhibition organised by the Society of Petroleum Engineers in Lagos, where he was represented by the acting Chief Executive Officer, Petroleum Commission, Ghana, Mr. Theophilus Ahwireng.

He put Ghana’s current oil and gas production at 190,000 barrels a day and 120 million standard cubic feet per day, respectively.

The minister said, “One area that we have moved on very quickly has been gas monetisation. All the three developments we have currently have either some associated gas or their own gas. What we have done in the last few years has been to connect the pipeline infrastructure for these three developments.

“So, by the middle of next year, the gas pipeline infrastructure from Jubilee, TEN (Tweneboa, Enyenra and Ntomme) and the Offshore Cape Three Points will all be connected to provide a basis for security of supply; to prevent us from venting or flaring gas, and be efficient in terms of conserving the resource.”

Agyarko explained that Ghana was looking to monetise all the 300 million scf of gas that it would be producing for power generation.

“Ghana used to have a 100 per cent dependence on hydro, but we are currently in the region of about 50/50 in terms of hydro and gas,” he said.

According to him, the gas comes from fields in Ghana and, to a smaller extent, the West African Gas Pipeline.

The Lagos State Governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode said his administration has already embarked on reform aimed at generating 3000 megawatts (MW) of electricity within the next few years.

The governor explained that the initiative would go a long way in improving the state’s economy and make life more comfortable for its residents (Lagosians).

He made the disclosure at the 7th Annual Public Lecture of the Lagos State Public Service Chapter (LSPSC) of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) held on Monday in Ikeja.

The lecture has the theme; Lagos@50: Unlocking Its Economic Potentials for Sustainable Development.

Governor Ambode stressed the importance of adequate power supply to unlock the economic potentials of the state, noting that the sector remained strategic in reducing the cost of doing business and improving the living condition of Lagosians.

He described the theme of the lecture as apt and in line with the resolve of his administration to identify, explore and exploit the untapped potentials of the Lagos economy, which according to him, was why the state government was adopting the approach of strategic, innovative, as well as long-term thinking and planning.

Smart City Initiative

The governor stated that with high population growth of 3.2% annually and high immigration rate estimated to be one of the highest in the world and rapid urbanisation, the state government was not oblivious to the fact that the most effective and efficient way to unlock the economic potentials of Lagos was to open up the economy for private enterprise to thrive.

According to him, this is why his administration has been delivering first class infrastructure and putting in place right policies to ensure business-friendly environment.

Ambode further attributed the ongoing projects in some parts of the state to the resolve of his administration to unlock the tourism, entertainment and arts potentials of Lagos which he said were all critical.

“Our smart city initiative will help to ensure that the state is cleaner, safer, productive and then more resilient thereby making the state more attractive for Foreign Direct Investment.

“Upon assumption of office in 2015, our administration created the Ministry of Wealth Creation and Employment and subsequently launched the N25bn Employment Trust Fund and as at today, over 3000 entrepreneurs have benefited from the fund through access to low-cost credit for their business.

“Lagos State is also actively involved in the Development Agenda for Western Nigeria (DAWN), a body comprising all the South-Western states. We are working on a collaborative development plan, a regional economic integration which will help to minimise some of our current challenges such as high immigration, infrastructure deficit and traffic congestion,” he said in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Habib Aruna.
