Even if it this story is true, it is the product of all the previously installed generating capacity from OBJ down to GEJ.

Buhari has not increased our generating capacity by even one mega watt. They are still talking of awarding contract for a dam or something.

CLASSMAN:
When i no get light

Because 6000MW isn't enough for light.

We need 20000MW for light 24/7.

That is why we should all, govt and big men inclusive, pay our bills. No bill payment means no money for expansion projects, and fixing the transmission system

On point. In addition to low transmission capacity we have about 10% lost due to T&grin losses then another 30-50% lost due to thefts, non-metering (ATC&C losses).

So celebrating 5 000 MW being transmitted is quite a slap on our faces!

Caseless:



We have problems with our transmission capacity too. We generate 7k MW, but transmit 5kMW, with 2k MW still left in the system.

7k is what we generate as a nation. So bad.

Buhari has not increased our generating capacity by even one mega watt. They are still talking of awarding contract for a dam or something.

He has gotten Mambilla back on line, and also several new projects are due to come on stream. Plus, kainji power generation is due to be increased next year. Contract was signed between the company running Kainji and GE this week.


The problem is our ancient transmission system, which needs $100bn to replace, hence GEJ privatizing power.

Really, govt has hands off power since 2014.All it needs to do is pay the bills.

Lies from the pits of hell once more ..If Nigeria is generating upto 4000 MWs i will know because I would see remarkable improvement in my supply but the opposite is the case ..I left home yesterday by 6.30 am and there was no electricity only to get home by 10 30 pm and still meet no electricity , i ask the security guard on duty if electricity had come on all day and he said it came just for 20 min.. to cut the story short I slept without PHCN supply and they just brought the light back now at 7.30 am this morning.. We all recall just 7 weeks ago Buhari claimed they were generating 7000 Mws and today they are saying 5000 is the highest they have attained ..believe this liars at your own peril.

This liar has come again.

Remind us where you live that you never experience power whilst all your neighbours do.

[quote author=deji17 post=63294539]Nigeria transmits 5,156MW electricity, highest ever – Official
December 14, 2017


The Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, on Thursday disclosed that it recorded new national peak electricity transmission capacity of 5,155.9 Mega Watt, MW, on December 8.
The Interim Managing Director of TCN, Usman Gur-Mohammed, made the disclosure at an interaction with journalists in Abuja.
Mr. Gur-Mohammed said the new record exceeded previous national peak record of 5,074.70 recorded on February 2.
He said the nation’s average peak load capacity at the beginning of the year was about 4,000 MW.
He added that the Transmission Rehabilitation and Expansion Programme (TREP) which sought to decentralise significant aspects of project implementation to regions was designed to further increase the national peak transmission capacity.
He said TREP had attracted financing for several projects from donor agencies, adding that the completion of the projects would result in expansion of the grid transmission capacity to at least 20,000MW in four years time.
He also revealed that TCN engineers had been involved in installation of transformers at substations in the country.
The TCN interim boss explained that installations were accomplished at less than 10 per cent of the cost hitherto paid to contractors over the years.
According to him, the company successfully installed 10 transformers in Bauchi, Funtua, Ejigbo, Ajah, Gombe, Aba, Umuahia, Auchi, Damboa and Zaria, saying that installations by TCN engineers saved several millions of Naira.


He also revealed that TCN had resolved several challenging and slow implementing contracts within the year.
The contracts, according to him, include the Kukwaba subsation, Katsina-Daura line, Yawuri-Kafanchan, Mbalano-Ohafia-Umuahia, Nnewi-Onitsha and Maiduguri substations.
He said the completion of some ongoing projects would add about 1,000MW transmission capacity to the grid before January 31, 2018.
Mr. Gur-Mohammed also said that within the year, TCN entered into collaboration with several partners to reposition the company for better service delivery.
According to him, some of the collaborations include the Agip and NNPC joint venture in respect of towers 94 and 98 on Okpai-Onitisha DC line.
He noted that TCN was also collaborating with government of Japan on development of capacitor banks in Apo and Keffi substations and rehabilitation of Apapa, Akangba, and Isolo substations.
He said discussions were ongoing with Japan Government to rehabilitate Ikeja West and Ota substations.
He added that the European Union (EU) had also pledged to provide 25 million Euros grant to support TCN on solar Independent Power Plant (IPP) evaluation.

It is the truth, and we have PDP to thank for that... though expansion of projects are ongoing.

We can get up to 7000mw,problem is 2000 gets lost due to our transmission system which needs replacing.

Problem is, the bill to replace it is $100bn.Our forex reserve is $30bn.Either we take loans, or discos increase bills

Superb!
If they only knew. What makes it worse is that the unwillingness of Nigerians to follow due process and request for meters makes them 'foolish' because in trying to be smart by sorting the DISCOs illegally, we are actually paying premium price for darkness.

And since DISCOs won't increase purchase from GENCOs, the GENCOs are forced to scale down generation (lower gas purchases, under-utilization of plants, high losses etc.).

Perhaps communities should fight for common meter installation. This way houses can organize themselves into a block of single consumers and insist on a large meter. Each individual house is then billed based on common agreement by the block of houses and the money generated is used to settle the units shown on the meter.

This might just force DISCOs to roll-out meters for all!

SalamRushdie:


I hope you dont believe that evacuation inadequacy crap ? The truth remains that Discos reject electricity intentionally because they can sell darkness at same price and nothing will happen , EGBIN genco has been complaining that discos reject 70 percent of the electricity sent their way and the reason is simple , its because Discos prefer to trade darkness instead of light because its a miilion times more profitable.. they just take as little as they need to keep deceiving the customer to pay the estimated bills which ia actually a utility bill for darkness disguised a and electricity bill.. as long as 80 percent of customer remain without prepaid metering there is no hope for Nigerian electricity improvement .

What you want is bad news. So, any good news about this Govt or about Nigeria makes you sad.
You may not have light now, but this news shows that in a matter of months, your light situation should improve like some have improved and will keep improving. Do you know the difference between power generation, power transmission and power distribution? I don't think you do. Curse yourself from now till tomorrow, by the grace of God, it will not stop Nigeria from progressing
why wasting your data replying the block head you know he is from "HATE REPUBLIC"where evil are celebrated over good
