." He expressed dissatisfaction with the low rate of the tariff
regime in the sector, adding that the investors had
expected high tariff in the energy industry". Low rate indeed! It will soon get lower, mtcheeew

smh...

is it that we lack understanding or the will power to make effective change

For God sakes who builds a 1125 MW plant with $1.75 billion?

You guys may see it as progress, but damn how much do you really know about power generation, its not about the number of stations, rather the capacity. These plants will not be able to deliver up to 45% of their rated capacity to the Grid...

the largest dam in world was built at a cost of $22.5 billion and it generates 22,500 MW of electricity, spare me all the bullshit of littering the whole country with mini-power plants...

build something tangible, power generation is not rocket science all it takes is just some level of responsiveness to the plight of your people

this is how they will keep on taking us for granted, if we just take anything they bring to our table without us questioning them

so much for change...

amazingspiderma:

we should be making solar panel through research,or ask the companies to come and manufacture them here in Nigeria.

makes sense now.

am i n*tts or wat i should assume the first responsibility of the minister is watch the wholistic chain supply from production to consumption.We trully see who we are in the world and in people,sumthin has gone wrong with our guys always talking up tarliff on power constantly.

Na wa .

Produce power Nigerians we pay..Lol..I enjoy 18hrs power daily in my location..

While where i put my hommies they have power just once in 5days and it last just 90mins..lol

How won't rape and early birth rates increase when night time activites will be oushed up by lack of power?

Nah, not today, not now... I won't insult you, Your ignorance has done that to you already

If you could read effectively maybe you'd have had a better understanding of where am driving at

some countries have the luxury of experimenting with solar powered plants, others like Nigeria don't, we currently have an installed capacity of not more than 7,000MW. Instead of building small plants everywhere, why not build something large to generate what can supply the entire country for about 18 hours daily...

You can say all you want, but i won't stoop to your level of immaturity by trading insults... I'd rather trade opinions with you

Thanks

Skmoda360:

say that one more time my bro, you nailed it.

aresa:













What's the difference between what we are spending and what other countries are spending on 1000MW. For 1125 MW, we are actually getting a good deal for our money.

The going rate for 1000MW is $1 billion.

Even the so called 22.500MW $22 billion largest damn you quoted = $1 billion per 1000 MW.

Do a little elementary arithmetic before spewing rubbish and even a little research before spewing ignorance on the internet. Hate and bitterness can not stop us.

Rossikk:
One reason to not depend on a huge power station is that if war breaks out, and the facility is targeted, its destruction could send the entire country into darkness, and halt economic activities nationwide. So it makes more sense to spread out the plants to various locations.

"Ouch!"

That was the sound of me falling out of my tree from laughing so hard. $1.75billion, on solar for 1125MW. I'm a *huuuge* fan of solar, but this effort might do us more harm than not. Let me see if I can explain in between stifling my laughter.

First, we know that 1/2 the money will just be eaten, so we're down to $875 million

Second, our minister has not yet learned to successfully manage the hydro and thermal plants we have on ground successfully, but rather than fixing the problem (underperforming plants, woeful grid, and ne'er do well vandals), we're pouring money down the drain on new infrastructure. I know some towns whose transformers have blown for years now.

Third, does this involve huge banks of battery banks or are we only going to see electricity when the sun is shining?

Fourth, solar needs a good amount of maintenance (cleaning the panels regularly, battery replacement) to continue to work. I'm sure there's no money in this budget for maintenance or replacement. How do we dispose of (or recycle) all the used batteries? Are we just going to dump all that lead in our ground, every 2-3 years?

Fifth, show me a government-provided solar installation that worked after six months.

Sixth, have we trained anybody local to install and maintain? Or are we going to see rusted pieces of metal in about 1-2 years time?

Seventh, how are we going to pay for all this? Is it loan, bonds, or existing cash? Will tariffs rise 3x?

Anyways, good job, looking forward to seeing it work, now back up the mango tree I go.

Nairadays:
Good development for Solar Energy Companies. Profit Time.

But what about generating power from wind? If that's possible, we can add that too to the national grid.

Anyway good development from the government.

nonjebose:
Exactly my point. Generate and distribute enough energy, Nigerians will pay. It is annoying how they constantly inundate us with increase in tariff

Talking facts with ignorance and you still can not do simple arithmetic.

Modular power plants is the future of power supply, it's the direction the rest of the world is heading, read up on it and educate yourself..

musicwriter:


Thank you!.

I wanted to say something along this line when I saw your response.

China generated over 50,000 MW with about $300 Million and here we want to generate little with over $1 Billion!. If the FG give me just $10 Billion I'll solve Nigeria's electricity problem, cause I've discovered myself ''electricity generation is no rocket science'' as you said.

I've built a water powered electricity generator, the first in the history of the world. It's so simple I believe there's an eternal conspiracy to surpress the science by the electricity companies and the powers that control the system of things of this world.

Follow me cause I am going to post the technology here on Nairaland pretty soon.

deligatus:
Its simple federal govt should subsidize solar panel for people to buy personally depending on the amount u want.
