But Senegal/Ghana are the ones they plan to sell to, not Benin and Mali.

nicepoker101:
If that is not done
Other countries along the river Niger. Might dam the river and this will worsen the situation in Nigeria.

Thumbs up to you. Most of these people on nairaland does not even know how electricity business is been run. Do you know how many homes still owing distribution station money not to talk of government and agencies that don't pay at all. Is better to give those countries and get ROI than to distribute locally without and or meagre income. It is also better to feed them than to allow them build on the same river channel as we have. For exampe ,if Niger republic dam river Niger up there, there won't be enough pressure to run turbine at our own dam down here.

When your own citizens are still suffering from epileptic power supply ... Is that not stupidity?

I worked at kanji during my IT let me explain . Our dam is on river niger, to stop other countries along same river building their dam on same river we have to sell them light . Ivory coast benin ghana etc we sell to pay in dollars and quickly unlike in 9ja where there is billing and payment issues.

You're right Bro, but Hydro power shouldn't be the only way we generate our electricity. We are blessed with so many options for electricity generation but I really don't know what the problem is. 70% of China's electricity generation is from coal which we have in abundant in the Eastern part of Nigeria of about 2 billion metric tons in reserve, we also have gas that is been flared everyday in the South South. No country relies on a single way to generate electricity. How long are we going to rely on river Niger? If any of those countries decides to build their dam today there's nothing Nigeria can do about it and that is the end of Kanji dam

Electricity: The Federal Government, Wednesday, disclosed that it was building power transmission line to link up some countries in the West African sub-region.


Speaking in Abuja at the 2019 participants/key stakeholders interactive forum organised by the Market Operator, the Managing Director of Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, Mr. Mohammed Gur Usman, stated that the project will take a 330KV electricity transmission line right from Nigeria up to Senegal.

He said, “In the whole of West Africa we are the only one that has the experience of 330KV but now 330 KV will run from Nigeria unto Senegal.

“Let me be precise, we are going to have a 330KV that will run from Shiroro to, to Parakou, Parakou to Northern Togo, Northern Ghana to Cote deviore.

“Another one will come from Northern Ghana to Senegal to Guinea-Bissau, to Mali to Burkina Faso and it will join Ghana. This is the study that we have launched.”

To this ends, Usman charged the major stakeholders in the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry, NESI, especially, the Market Operator, MO, to be ready to assume the task of regional player in the sector.

He said, “As the Chairman of West Africa Pool, WAP, I made the WAP to draft, the directives which was approved on the 22nd of May and 22nd of December, 2018.

“That is the written of ECOWAS Head of State and Government of 22nf of December 2018. They approved that three directives and what are those directives that we forwarded to ECOWAS for approval are:

“First, All utilities in West Africa must have their revenue requirement. The second directive is that countries that elect not to give the requirement, they should budget for it in a transparent manner.


“This means that if the utilities do not have their course reflective tariff then the countries should budget for it in a transparent manner that is they should provide for it in their national budget.

“We did not stop there, we said that all utilities in west Africa should conduct themselves in such a way that they should do their procurement in a transparent manner- meaning they should adapt competitive procurement of their services and their goods because if we have the budget and we have the money and we apply it in an inefficient manner, it means that cost of energy will soon go up.

“In reality, if it is truly a market is driven by rules and regulation and people have to comply with the rules and there has to be sanction for performance and there has to be a reward of non-performance and a reward for extraordinary performance.

“If a market is existing in such a way that everybody does not performance and can get away with it, there is no way that that market can grow or perform.”

According to him, “TCN may probably cease to exist very soon and then you will have TSP and ISO, ISO will be the one that will be operating the market operator under ISO and everything that I have to do for that transition to take place, I have been doing it daily. Every day I have been doing those things that would lead to those organizations to separate.

“Because we have not applied the market position in our market tenders, in solar, you cannot say that Nigeria has comparative advantage but, in terms of normal generation that would be done by gas and hydro.

“Nigeria still has comparative advantage across West Africa. Which means there is a demand for electricity from here to the rest of West Africa? What we are doing is to enable that happen. To enable that happen, we are going to build a transition line across West Africa so that we can export energy from here to the rest of Africa.

“I am happy to tell you that the design consultancy and the environmental study for the medium backbone were launched

This government absolutely confused.
How can we be helping other countries with electricity when Nigeria Is ranked the 2nd worse country in terms of power supply.

Misplaced priorities

PureWhite:


You will be surprise that they have it but just being wicked

I was to run a printing job in PH and in the course of my discussion with the receptionist she told me that they will use PHEDC power because whenever they have plenty job they will call the PHEDC office and they will supply them light but that they will pay for it specially, whereas the area is always without power.

I worked at kanji during my IT let me explain . Our dam is on river niger, to stop other countries along same river building their dam on same river we have to sell them light . Ivory coast benin ghana etc we sell to pay in dollars and quickly unlike in 9ja where there is billing and payment issues.
