When Nigerians dont have more than 5 hours daily..

The governments of Benin and Togo on Monday called for an increase in the amount of electricity, which their countries receive from Nigeria.



They specifically requested the Nigerian electricity supply industry to increase the amount of power sent to them from 200 megawatts to 300MW.

Speaking through the Community Electric du Benin, the countries urged the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission to intervene in the matter, but NERC made it clear to them that they would pay stipulated commercial rates for the power from Nigeria.

The CEB, known in English as the Electricity Community of Benin, is an international organisation co-owned by the governments of Benin and Togo. It is in charge of developing electricity infrastructure in both countries, which are strongly dependent on energy imports from Ghana and Nigeria.

NERC said in a statement that it told the four-man delegation from the CEB that the governments of Benin and Togo should be ready to pay commercial rates for electricity supplied to them by Nigeria.

Speaking with the CEB team, the Transmission Service Provider and Independent System Operator for the Republics of Togo and Benin, the NERC Chairman, Dr. Sam Amadi, was quoted as saying, “The ongoing reform in the Nigeria electricity industry will not jeopardise international relations and strategic interests of Nigeria.”

The delegation, the statement said, was in Nigeria to find out the implication of the privatisation of the remaining government-owned power plants under the National Integrated Power Project and how it would affect the allocation of 200MW of electricity, which the two nations were receiving from Nigeria.

NERC stated in the statement, “They also made a case for an increase in allocation from 200MW to 300MW. Nigeria currently supplies 300MW to Togo, Benin and Niger Republic, out of which the CEB countries get 200MW of power supply with the balance of 100MW given to Niger Republic.”

“You need to sign a power purchase agreement with the Nigeria Electricity Bulk Trader Plc and be up to date in your payment for electricity received as the market will be entirely private-sector-driven by the time the NIPP plants are sold,” Amadi was quoted as telling the delegation.

He explained that such financial commitment and responsibility might be an issue when considering their request for additional capacity.

The CEB team was told that the request would be deliberated at the October edition of the industry stakeholders’ meeting and that decisions reached would be communicated to them.

Could someone please explain to me how this work cuz Benin and Togo has been enjoying steady power supply for so many years and Nigeria has been sloppy in that regard,
so how could they be us for help?
How could Nigeria be their main source of electricity generation whereas they are still struggling in power/current sectors??

[size=15pt]if we had 200 MW extra, the impact will be noticeable. whats our deal with these countries, we need to cut off this contract...... Benin has light 247[/size]

This is tagged Begging a Beggar

The last time i visited Cotonou, they have a steady power supply than Nigeria. Why are they requesting for more??

Nice.

The power-purchase agreement kini should be signed. Its no longer business as usual.
There's a new sheriff in town!

Electricity light ko, electricity fire nii......, what is their problem?

Now that we have a new Sheriff in town, I think things will not be the same for them again.

so out of 3 hours supply per day my area, some more megawatts will be sent to benin and togo abi?

Na wa o for Nairalanders o. It's not free of charge na. I think it's even more profitable to supply them than the distribution companies in Nigeria.

When Nigerians dont have more than 5 hours daily..

Maybe you stay in Cameroon but me, I have experienced 5hours of light in ma area oo

They gat to pay more then

Wetin u ppl no know plenty. D water we used in generating part of our light come from them. Remember Kanji dam, some of those water come from them & if they put a dam on that b4 getting to naija, our production from Kanji will be affected. They just need to come into an agreement & that is all. To me Nigeria have more than enough power to use & that we are currently generating, our main problem is sabotage I.e enemy of progress. Don't u ask yourself a question why d moment Buhari become our president, our starts to be steady, no additional input from anywhere. We supplied electricity to Benin, Niger & Togo & all of them enjoyed light 24/7 but we d supplier never enjoyed for 5hrs. Thks for PMB that changed it without additional input. Nigeria is a special country. D Lord will help us. Amen

you are right, dem no de beg a beger money

What Nigeria ought to do is just simple.
