We now generate 6800MW but it is beyond Discos’ capacity”, says Fashola

Babatunde Fashola, minster of works, power and housing, says the power being generated is higher than the carrying capacity of electricity distribution companies.

Speaking at the 18th monthly power sector stakeholders meeting hosted by Kano electricity distribution company on Monday, Fashola described the situation as a serious challenge to efforts made by the government.

“It is a serious problem that the distribution companies do not have enough carrying capacity to accommodate more of the generated electricity due to one reason or the other.”

The minister also told the gathering that federal government has approved a loan of N39 billion to enable electricity distribution companies (Discos) supply prepaid meters.

He said the gesture is part of the power sector recovery programme aimed at ensuring uninterrupted power generation and distribution.

“It is also aimed at ending the series of complaints by consumers who applied for meter but were not supplied at the appropriate time.”

Fashola said successful implementation of the recovery programme would resolve the conflict between electricity distributors and consumers over tariff collection.

According to the minister, power generation has increased to 6,863 megawatts in 2017.

He attributed the increase to efforts made by the government to end vandalism of gas pipelines.

The federal government had earlier approved a fund of N701 billion to complement the payment deficits made by Discos.

You can continue to wail. Most people have reported on power supply improvement in their area and if the Discos can distribute what is currently been generated, then more improvement will be noticed.
No matter how much you wail, majority of Nigerians stand with Buhari.

The best they can do, is to wail, rant, whine, spread fake news, label known and established facts as propaganda or insult people with contrary view from theirs. I wonder why they think that is a winning strategy

Yah, APC capital investment in the power generating equipments led to the power generation increase.

Many still lives in fool paradise.

In other words, it is not my fault that you're still in darkness after 2yrs...

We continue to pray for his success. As it is now, Fashola's success, in the portfolio he is handling,is Nigeria's success. Only short sighted, unpatriotic Nigerians will think otherwise.

You are wise and informed............quick to build, quick to collapse


"The sadness of low quality stays while the sweetness of low price is gone"

God punish Fashola for this lie ....The only reason why you and your DISCO friends reject electricity from GENCOs is because u want to sell darkness ... When Nigeria electricity reaches 4500MWs we all know because we see the difference so Fashola stop lying

That's bigotry speaking and not common sense

So now there is a new problem and a new avenue to steal...

Unless I want God to punish me, that is when I would deny the remarkable improvement in electricity supply where I live in Lagos

Why is Fashola should a... ? 6800 MW and we won't..chai..i'm out of words...

The whole situation is a mess. Nigeria needs to adopt a DNO, IDNO, ICP and BNO structure similar to UK.
