All those figure u sampled are still too small for us. Imagine SA having 12 times our capacity and yet we claim we are the biggest in Africa.
Let us bring back industrial estates and allow off-grid arrangement to cater for them if we must make progress because to me our National grid isn't workable. Both GEJ and Buhari have failed woefully in terms of Power. Why don't Nigerians have prepaid meters today? Why are we still estimating billing?
Imagine about a month ago, an EDC official went to disconnect a compound with prepaid meter in my area. How can any competent PHCN person not know that prepaid meter cuts off the user when their credit finishes?

SalamRushdie:
Electricity supply has worsened again

realjoker:
An attack on a single gas pipeline lead to sudden loss of 800MW which resulted to a system collapse but worry no more as the power generation has picked up back.

SalamRushdie:


That was why I warned that Fashola should stop celebrating increased generation capacity in the media because anytime he does so enemies of Nigerian electricity immediately blow up a vital pipeline

The reason u don't experience improve power supply whenever power generation increases is because Disco can't collect higher bills from what they are currently collecting in your area whether they increase power output to Ur area or not whenever power generation increases, instead of increasing the amount of energy sent to Ur area they will rather sale to where they know increase in power supply will lead to increase in bills collection.

Lolz at the EDC incident, Industrial hubs are allowed to power their industries off grid. The major problem facing our power sector now is the EDC and the boys in the creek (the recent system collapse is do to the loss of 800MW as a result of an attack on single gas pipeline) as this government has made sizeable progress in driving available capacity from 4,800MW to 7,100MW mainly by fixing turbines that have been out of operation for years and some has been out of operation for decades at a time we where experiencing finance constraints. Remember that this government have not spent up to $2b on power and were able to add over 2,000MW to our available capacity, add over 000MW to our installed capacity, upgrade our Transmission capacity to 7,000MW from 5,000MW and compared this to the PDP administration which spent $16b in 16 years and could not make any meaningful success.
Our national demand forecast is 19,000MW and we currently have 11,000MW installed capacity and don't forget that we have some ongoing power projects that can add additional 1,500MW when completed (zungeru, Kaduna, Benin and so on)

It would have be super productive if you have devotes half of the time u wasted on criticizing PMB and APC on Your Biafra dream, and the dream would have come to reality. Bunch of election losing cry babies.

Standing5:
In other words, they overcharge those who pay to compensate for those who don't and this would lead to hoarding of prepaid meters that they know can put a stop their scam.

odogwubiafra:


Truth is always bitter. Constructive criticism, that is what you call it, not waste of time.

realjoker:
Lolz. You called wailing profusely, constructive criticism. You must be joking.

odogwubiafra:


Some brains have refused to accept that Nigeria is going into extinction. If it is now cheaper to relocate production plant to China, produce and import into Nigeria, and you still believe that this government is doing well. Then you need awareness.

realjoker:
Exactly, that is what the EDC have been doing, Ikeja electric is the most notorious culprit.

obailala:

Not sure of most of the things you've written here, but it sounds very promising. But just to add to your comment, $24 billion was actually spent in 16 years not $16bn cos an additional $8billion+ was spent by GEJ on the same power and we barely added up to 3000mw in 16 years.

more than 100k but we are not feeling it na

100K IS VERY INSIGNIFICANT FOR A COUNTRY WITH 200 MILLION PLUS POPULATION

How much do we need

Can you tell us specifically what this government has done in increasing capacity and those turbines fixed by it that was abandoned by the previous regime. Also, tell us those transmission projects it awarded and executed that increased capacity by 2000mw in the last two years.
