You might be interested in this. Go to their website, register and join to bid. Logistics, that is shipping, duty and delivery to final designation in Lagos should be about $3500. ( Not including cost of purchase). Total duration for shipment is about 3months.

Thank you daddy
J was thinking of buying at home
Since it will be readily available

Thank you topsy
I have been waiting for your reply.
It's in epe.
Those IPP
Are they in specific places or they can generate power for you wherever you want
Pls not this is not a big factory
Just a small setup
Where my plan is 200kva generator max
Getting 22hrs power supply in epe will be wonderful
The highest so far is 18hrs
In some places

IPP are presently in Ikoyi, Victoria island, Lekki and part of Ibeju Lekki,

Most of their cables runs through underground

If you can get 18hrs power supply per day that means the area is good. And solar is not the best option based on the total load you have . Solar inverter of 200KVA with lithium battery should be between 50-70m.

The only option available is to run on generator for 4hrs

Thank you very much sir. You have been very very helpful.

Pls last question.

Let's say you run your 165kva generator for 12 hours daily on full load.
How much fuel in litres will you consume per day (12 hours run time) or 6 hours.
Or better still
How many litres does it consume per hour on a full load.

it’s about 35 to 40 liters per hour on full load

Thank you very much sir

You are welcome sir, But you can still do a second load calculation to be sure of the size of generator you are buying, might not be up to 200kva as you proposed

Let's have the running and starting current or Power rating of each equipment, I will do the load calculation for .

You can post it here and I will respond

That's over 25k per hour.
If gen runs for 10 hours per day
That's 250k per day

One more thing … if your making money in nigeria depends on having regular public power supply , you have your business strategy wrong
It should be I can make money with running alternate power supply and if public supply is regular , it’s a bonus . Never the other way round

I had a lot of business ideas in my transition to Nigeria. Unfortunately most of them had a major shipping component involved.

So my business motto now in Nigeria is if making the money involves International Shipping and Nigeria Customs then I no do again grin

We have 11KV and 33KV high tension line. Most of the 3-Aluminium wires run on 9m poles are either 11KV or 33KV line as shown in the picture below.

On 33KV line you are quaranteed of minimum of 18hra power supply per but it will now depends on location these days. But in Lagos there is another power supply company called IPP(Independence Power Project). With IPP you are guaranteed of 20-22hrs power supply everyday.

There is a way you can she's your load by using bigger generator for peak period and smaller generator for the off peak period. Diesel is more expensive these days and its really killing alot of business.


Have you heard anything about this IPP in regards to Ibadan?

Thanks.

Mr Bixton, I hope you know projects do have people called consultants.

O yes I do know.
But to be honest it's hard to actually know where your role in his build is now that there is an issue..........

Engineer
Supervisor
Builder
Consultant
Contractor
Facilitator
Project Manager
Etc, etc.....

Good evening everyone...

*Update*

I bought extra 110 pieces of 2x2x18 at 132,000ngn and the carpenters confirmed the woods are of great quality... He said the treatment would be after they are done with the wood work.

Personally I’ll prefer them to put it on before installation as you’ll get better coverage that way. Even if I have to hire a laborer to do it for me at extra cost.

It’s your house and your responsibility. All the trades will move on after the project and you’ll end up living with all the decisions made during the build process, good and bad.

It’s still a December 2021 talks so far

Rate per unit is higher than PHCN rate but you will get constant power supply at least 22hrs everyday if there is no issue.

People that are using it hardly use generator. They only have inverter as back up for the short period of outage

They want your money more than your protection.

A tradesman in his early 60s said apply first, give the wood time to soak it and dry then I'll work.

Now that you have heard both sides you decide the way forward.

Personally, I'd listen the the quoted
