I'm sure some persons don't get these facts and figures at all because judging from the power supply in their area, power generation has always been low. Now that's pathetic |

LOL @Rainy or dry season. People without a clue hw the power syste work.. This same S.O website shown that power was 4530MW (highest eva generatd in d nations history) at one time late December and stayd bw d 4200-4500MW range bw December and January, in fact peak power on Friday was almost 4200MW- rain was falling heavingly Late Dec-Late January, abi? Any person with a rudimentary knowledge of power transmissn wud know that there are daily average variatns (up and down- today's wud be diff from yterday that is reportd here) cos of many factors either to do with Transmissn system variation, Generatn Units variatn, Gas supply issues etc. It is possible that this momentary decrease yterday to 3700MW was due to many things including d time lag it wud take for sm of d units in those Power stations shut down in d Southeast dis weekend for the Benin-Onitsha Line installatn, to come back to full operatns Or oda combinatn of factors- IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DRY SEASON..... By d way, d good tin about dis thread is dat ppl can now check daily power generatd and sent to d grid on dis S.O website link themselves; when it goes beyond 5000MW as it is likely to do soon and dis link reports it, hope nobody wud doubt it then... 2 Likes |

Red-Light: I will only state this once: Daily average variations of power flunctuate all over the world. Why it is an issue for Nigeria right now is because we do not have adequate power to supply the national need yet. The point is that the daily flunctuations are not really a big issue. What will be a big issue are long periods of drop in power. For example if the generation were to stay at say 2500 to 3000 MW over a 3 weeks period. Between now and when we fully attain stable power, there will be these regular flunctuations because a lot of work is going on. The whole of the east, for example, was thrown into complete darkness as they were moved to new trasmission lines. These are major infrastructural changes and should actually be celebrated, not ridiculed. The combine output of both kainji and shiroro dams stand at 1300MW. And most times, they don't even deliver their full capacity. In other words, they mostly deliver somewhere between 800 to 1200 MW regularly. Most of the other power in the country right now comes from gas plants. Even if another Noahs rain fall and cover Nigeria, the power supplied by kaini and shiroro will not exceed 1300 MW which is their full install capacity. So if there is a drop is power, you have to look at other reasons including transmission and supply of gas. In fact, gas supply is the biggest threat to the current improvement in power, not rain! The most important thing in all of this is that the sold DISCOs and power plants are about to be handed to the bid winners. That is what people like us are interested in and waiting for ernestly. Hopefully, that should happen within the next few weeks. That is when the real journey begins. The days of Kainji and shiroro are long gone. Even ebonyi is about to launch a new power plant. Akwa ibom is set. Geometric is going live in march. Those are the important things, not childlike arguments about rainy and dry season. It is also an added plus that there is a website where you can actually check the daily power output. It is a really big step for us Nigerians to have such a tool! A big kudos to the ministry there! 8 Likes |

If only GEJ administration can solve this power issue and give us constant and uninterrupted power supply then he would forever be remembered for good in the history of Nigeria! |

thelastPope: Thank you. Folks should please ignore opposition ACN papers like Tribune. Has Tribune ever reported the recent improvement in power supply across the nation? Did they report it when it went up to 4,500 mw in December? No. Only when it sounds negative enough to them, such as in this temporary fluctuation, they publish. Unpatriotic, worthless imbeciles. |

thelastPope: This is the type of intelligent, structured without insult reply that i wish to see daily on Nairaland, but you should not make this the only time you will be saying it. Although I am not a fan of both ruling and opposition parties, there is a lot of things that Nigerians need to learn. It is unfortunate that our governments have made many of us doubting Thomas-es because of many years of neglect and decrepit leadership. The truth is, all the 12 months promises we keep hearing in the power sector is not feasible and our leaders should just tell us the truth. It takes time to build infrastructure, especially power. it is more than the wishes our leaders want us to believe. The quick fix, short benefit we have seen in the power sector coupled with many failed deadlines have made many Nigerians to loose faith in the uninterrupted power supply story. I sincerely think it will not take less than 4 to 5 years of consistent and focused investment in the power sector before we can all see the benefits. Our governments owe us the truth and we also need to be open to learn and see the realities of our circumstance. |

Energy Generation 99,127 MWH is a amount of total energy generated during a day (24 hours). 99,127MWH /24H = 4130MW average power generation. It's more reliable indicator than peak generation. |
Re: Power Output Drops To Record Low Of 3714 MW by Nobody: 9:23pm On Mar 01, 2013 |
It can't be true. Three power plants were built in Lagos, they took light for 3 days in some eastern states because they were finishing a power line. Good governance tour showed us all the improvement in power projects. It can't be true that electricity dropped. |
Re: Power Output Drops To Record Low Of 3714 MW by Ngwakwe: 9:32pm On Mar 01, 2013 |
Why didn't the editor of this paper wait until he is able to tell us the reason for the drop. Quark Journalism Power dropped to lowest level in 2013 Reason for the drop - No information When do we expect it to be restored - No information This paper just want to deform Nigerians with incomplete information |
