@ All,
I am about to commence the building of an Hostel(30 rooms in suite) in my hometown and in the course or discusing the electrification of the hostel with my site supervisor, the electrician brought to my knowledge on how I would like the installation to be; based on the following questions below:

1. I am I going to allow students to use their individual generator in the course of power outage ?

2. How am i going to take care of the NEPA bill for each students considering the fact that all the occupants will not have the same load in their rooms?

My own question

Is it adviceable to provide central alternative power supply whenever thedre is power outage in other to discourage individual student from running their personal generator (most especially the I-pass-my-neighbour generator)?

You contributions will be highly appreciated.

wel like d first responder said, u need a central power system either the nepa source or the alternative source it wil be more control and give the property a better used, i work with sakr power generation company, u can cal on us 2 do site inspection 2 give what kva of gen 2 use and further advice cal lanre on 08039797483.

Thanks for your reply. As i said ealier, the hostel is going to be 30 rooms in all excluding the Security gate and conference room. Each room is going to contain minimum of 6 power sockets (one 15amps and five 13amps), 1 ceiling point and 5 lighting points (energy saving bulb of 15watts rating). The loads that I expect to be in each room as per student levels should include
1. Pressing Iron
2. Standing or ceiling fan
3. Television/ Radio
4. Fridge
5. Heaters (either boiling ring or hot-plate) - but still under review whether to allow it or not.

I think with this, you can come up with the rating of the suitable generator incase of power outage. However, how do I manage the payment of NEPA bill by every occupant without any hassle? Also, are u suggesting the usage of Inverter as anothe power alternative? Expecting your response.
