delpee: Spot on!! Babe. That's just it. Provide meters to every customer and watch how monies will flow into industry. All those talk of non-reflective tariffs won't be an issue because people will pay for what they consumed, nothing more. Like the guy you quoted said: 'it's not rocket science' 1 Like |

To me this problem of electricity, no government as taken it serious, truely We all see it in the news, where country would give a Road map to achiving something, they will give blue print of how they want to achieve a goal take for instances, Europe has a Road map to stop using gasoline engine in the car by 2030 or so, everyone is aware of, if one government leave and another one comes, he would see the blue Print and continue from there NO government in the history of Nigeria as say by 2040 or by 2050, we would all have electricity, all they do is one government do they own, leave and another one do and leave no clear directection of what they want to achieve, it paina me to see to always see this , In the next 20 to 30 years I bet that this project they proposed would not be useful, that is another waste of money Let this adminaistration do a feasable study, draw a Road may to achiving it, and place a timeline to achiving it, even if they project would be completed on 2090 no problem, Once there is a blueprint, and everybody is aware of it, if another adminaistration say the want to do anything that would not in Anyway support the blueprint, we would say no If there is a blueprint, each government can set a target, even do it is 10% they want to achievers within there tenure, then we know within the next 10 adminaistration we would be thinking of 24 hours electricity Let them give a blueprint and give a timeline to implement and not all this small project that they are do up and down 1 Like |

delpee: it starts from the top... break generations into regions. amy form of generation goes to a center grid. they need to decentralize generation to start with. It opens up avenues to try different means of generation. Every where doesnt have to be just hydro and gas turbines. Where wind can be deployed, they deploy. where solar can be deployed, they deploy. this in return opens up the economy which cadcades down all the way to discos. with that solved, it becomes easy to strengthen transmission as the scope has become more smaller and gives it more focus.. its easier to invest in. you know where you catering for. To the most greedy of them all, distribution. they dont want to spend but the want to earn. Assuming they aint a greedy bunch but diligent, maintaining statusquo would have been fine , all they just need to do is provide meters but no, why spend when its easier to take advantage of the community, when it only increase their cost. They dont provide transformers, they wont change weak cables, they wont mount strong feeder pillars. Imagine in 2019, we still have tree stem pillars. They refused to be innovative as they basked in their laziness and the best part is they can then issue estimated bills, easy and cool cash. Just tear them bill to achieve revenue targets. i feel the bar needs to raised on discos. make it more competitive. their coverage area is too much for them. invite more players into the discos. power minister needs to facilitate this further breakdown. those enjoying drom this largesse from the top are tbe ones stoping this from happen. 4 Likes |

Splashme: The company should take IKEDC as an alternative source of metered power which they will rarely use, ensure IKEDC give official notice and correspondence on the options listed by IKEDC and then sue IKEDC to court if they try to sabotage the company's effort. |

If Ota and RCCG camp can built power station in 9months and 1year, what happened to the plant built in Nembe Bayelsa State nd a village close to Owerri and others not mentioned during Jona administration. FG is the problem we have. We go die our children go still complain of what we are brain storming. Did u hear the problematic government saying revoking the license of DISCO isnt the problem. When a DISCO like BEDC would give electricity for 3hrs,5,8 at most 12hrs in state capital is not a problem with estimated billing. Useless Nigeria Politician's everywhere. Was BEDC not a campaign promise Buhari and Oshiomole made in Warri. To me o light in Nigeria is possible if Buhari turns off his generator and other follows suit. 1 Like |

bellachibaby: IF NIGERIA POLITICAL LEADERSHIP WANT TO SALVAGE OUR BATTERED POWER SECTOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MUST HAVE TO LOOK BEYOND THE NIGERIA SHORES FOR EXPERTS. WE NEED TO GET THE CHINESE TO RESCUE US FROM AN ALREADY BAD SITUATION. Ignorant President Goodluck Jonathan went and gave the contracts of providing powers to BANKERS, PHARMACIST, EX-MILITARY HEAD OF STATE and the rest of the PDP FAITHFULS who do not even study electrical engineering. Although President Jonathan had a good reasons for engaging NIGERIANS to provide power. He wanted to promote our local content. But he forgot TOO QUICKLY that Nigerians are fake, fraudulent and deceiful. Infact, they do not possess the knowledge and experience they claim to have in providing or generating power for the country. PRESIDENT JONATHAN FOOLISHLY GAVE THIS POWER GENERATING COMPANIES A 10 YEARS CONTRACT. What a waste of precious time for NONETITY ! Today, the power sectors is COMATOSE. Whether they call it DISCO, GENCOS and all that jinggles the end result is COMATOSE AND TOTAL FAILURE. NIGERIA NEED AN INTERNATIONAL HANDS TO ADDRESS OUR POWER PROBLEMS IN NIGERIA. We should forget about the socalled LOCAL CONTENT. 2 Likes |

Power theft is one area the FG must address first before enforcing prepared meters in every home That will be putting the cart before the horse. Power must be available first before we can say there is power theft, and then the prepaid meter and legislation can be put in place simultaneously [/quote] |

All this people shouting 'give us prepaid meter '. if u give it to them now, they'll be the first to start complaining that its consuming much and eventually by pass it. |

There is a problem with transmission and distribution of electric energy. This also affects the gas suppliers because if the end users are not paying, how will the gas suppliers get value for the huge investments they have made (Gas Processing Plants, Cross Country Pipelines, Metering stations, etc). If the transmission and distribution problems are resolved and money is returned to the chain, we can kiss power sector problem goodbye. |

ShinyJay22: The FG did not sell the old debt to DISCos at takeover. They are however encouraged to recover same and remit 85% of the old debt to NELMCo(FG) and take 15% as incentive. Getting ur electricity billings over 10yrs is not ideal as the current law does not allow DISCos to build in Financing components into their bills. Just do a discount of 20billion in an inflationary clime like Nigeria and see how much is lost. 2. There are already laws in place on power theft but they are rarely enforced. Judges are quite lenient when it comes to power theft. This has made it pointless for discos to go thru the legal hassles. By the way, the largest debtors to most DISCos are MDAs, including Police, Army etc. Woe betide u to try and install prepaid meters for them. Or try cutting their light. There are just too many problems in a lawless nation like ours and the situation in the power sector is nothing special. Its just a reflection of the hopeless situation of almost everything in our country. |
