And soon to be overtaken by Kenya which will have 6500MW by 2017. Everytime Kenyans complain about our once a month (In parts of Nairobi.Never) 15minute to 2 hour blackouts.I tend to point out Nigeria's 'Normal' power supply which is akin to the 2001 power rationing we had. Nigeria has major Electricity issues. I remember there being a week long power blackout right in Lagos.A Week Long!!!Jeez!!If it were Nairobi,People would have gone and dragged the Kenya Power MD from his office and paraded him on the street!! 3 Likes |

Demdem:pls give this man some respect if not as ur president then as a fellow human being, what has this man done that others before him has not done twofold before? Why dis constant insults? Muslims will come on social media to spew insults on GEJ and foolish and God forsaken Christians will do same instead of supporting our own, this personal insults on GEJ is becoming irritating and annoying here, what did obasanjo do with the 16billion dollars he awarded to NIPP (national independent power projects) few months before he left office? No Id.iot here criticise that move, before then he obasanjo awarded multi-billion dollar contracts to these foney NIPP companies, yet nobody ask questions, GEJ did what other corrupt presidents could not do by selling off NEPA. A move which will yield results in no time. U want him to transform Nigeria in just 4 years what past governments have bastardize since d time of Shagari and obasanjo. Yet u don't want to give him another 4 years to consolidate on what he has started, the funny way how people think is baffling. Well whether the haters like it or not GEJ till 2019. I no want person wey go force me to be a Muslim. No to Buhari, na GEJ we know. 1 Like |

This shows only the TOTAL production. My small home country of only about 9 million people produces approx. 8500 MW, compared to Nigeria which, with 180+ million, produces only about 4500 MW. That being said, we here produce about 40 (forty!!!) times more per capita. |

Splashme: Are you sure about that considering we ranked no 10 in oil production and no 46 in oil consumption compare to no 1 electricity generating country China that rank 5 in oil production but no 2 in oil consumption, my thought they are stealing our money.

Data like this make me sick. Quit all the gramar and paper qualification, there is very poor power supply in Nigeria. period!!! 4th in Africa? They forget to mention that Nigeria has the largest population in the whole of Africa. This data is like saying my neighbor takes better care of children when he provides food for 4 out of 15 of them, while I feed all my 3 kids perfectly well. Nigeria's case is a sorry one cos it is so unfortunate that large portion of its population are okay with mediocrity. 2 Likes |

gnykelly: More needs to be done, Your economy will collapse without power supply. No company would want to invest where power supply is not guaranteed. There is no way that you can have an economic growth without constant power supply. something will give at the end of the day. But your leaders will continue lying to you that the economy is growing at 7%, whereas its in recession. Economic growth must be felt on the ground, the boom of the middle class must be visible. But if everything is stagnant, you must know the economy has hit rock bottom. 1 Like |

News in today http://newtelegraphonline.com/power-generation-shrinks-dips-supply-below-3500mw/ Hydro plants show early cyclical low water problems Indications emerged at the weekend that the three hydro power plants in Nigeria – Kainji, Shiroro and Jebba, have begun to show early cyclical low water problems, which has, in return, dipped the power generation below 3,500 Mega Watts (MW). New Telegraph learnt that this challenge, which usually comes up between March and May of every year, has also worsened the inability of the plants to produce at optimal capacity. Generation, which has since the third quarter of 2014 being fluctuating between 3,000 MW and 3,700 MW, had earlier dipped to 3,500 MW in November, 2014. That time, gas shortage was, according to the Senior Special Adviser on Gas to the Minister of Power, Mr Frank Edozie, responsible for the fall. Edozie who confirmed the generation shortage said that the drop to 3,500 megawatts was due to sabotage of pipelines and inadequate gas supply. The senior special adviser said that available power generation capacity currently stood at 6,000 megawatts while system capacity stood at 5,000 megawatts. “The situation has, however, worsened in recent years by poor water management and lack of maintenance of the hydro stations,” a source at the Ministry of Power told this newspaper. This, according to him, usually comes up in March, April and May of every year, “but the feelers we are having from the plants is that they are beginning to show early signs of cyclical water level problem due to lack of adequate maintenance. “All five units in the 760 megawatt capacity Kainji Electricity Power Station could generate about 330 megawatts, while the 578 megawattcapacity Jebba plant has the capacity to generate between 418 megawatts at peak periods and 339 megawatts at off-peak. “The Shiroro Station generates between 409 megawatts and 380 megawatts,” the source said. According to him, the erratic power supply being experienced across the country was caused by recent vandalism of Transforcados pipeline that transported crude oil. “Inadequate gas supply and frequent sabotage of the pipelines had contributed immensely to lack of electricity supply in the country. “We are constrained due to the gas challenges and it has contributed to the drop of power generation to 3,500 megawatts,’’ he said. He maintained that power generation could drop by over 1,000 mega Watts in March, April and May, “when the yearly cyclical challenges usually rear their ugly heads. “Power generation will certainly drop by over 1,000 megawatts in the event of the imminent drop in the water levels at the stations.” Meanwhile, it was also gathered that the adverse effects of the low water level at this period of the year was compounded by poor water management and inadequate maintenance of the stations, which has resulted in occasional leakage of water in the dams. This has also culminated in flooding of the power stations. Kainji, it was learnt, has yet to undergo complete overhaul since it was built in 1968 and “you don’t expect optimal performance from this plant,” the source added. “Power generation, as at today, stood at 3,500 megawatts; we have not gone below that, but we are gradually beefing up the generation to hit 5,000 megawatts as promised,” Edozie told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) penultimate week. But the Ministry of Power indicated on its website that 64.01MW of electricity was stranded on account of the weak and insufficient distribution equipment. The national electricity generation has dropped to 2,954.51 megawatts in the latest setback for the authorities to meet the expectations of consumers. The ministry said that 3,206.09MW was generated as at December 2, only to drop to 2,954.51 by December 11, a reduction of 251.58MW in nine days. |

Those who say Nigeria is ranked 4th in electricity production in Africa are probably smoking some kind of strange substance. Have they been to Kenya, Botswana, South Africa, Egypt, Namibia etc? What criteria are they using to arrive at their rating? In Gaborone, Botswana power blackout is almost unheard of, unlike in Lagos, Nigeria where it is a daily occurrence. Even if all the 4,000MW currently generated by Nigeria is diverted into Lagos State alone, it would still be inadequate to meet the daily needs of the entire city which requires almost 10,000MW per day! Abeg, this fake assertions about Nigeria being the 4th in electricity generation is making me puke! |
