The issues arising 1. Siemens is not going to come in and charge bills below the production price , so bills go up. Siemens is also not coming to invest in Nigeria sans profit. 2. Discos will expect to be compensated for being forced out of the business for Siemens. 3. Expect higher bills, but improvement in power supply Modified Thanks for all the mentions. Have had some interesting discussions downthread,and for once, people are discussing without adverse language! All the info I have about discos and gencos and power comes from several years of reading sparked by GEJ privatising power and issues I had getting a meter for my then place of residence (ended up still being on estimated till i moved house to a metered place!),and other life experiences I have to go now, life calls. Thanks. Modified deux To be clear. 1. I do not work for the discos or Gencos. 2. I have never voted for PDP or APC, nor do I support Buhari, GEJ, or anyone of them 3. I am not benefiting in any way from the discos or gencos. As I write this, there is no light where i live and my generator is on. 4. To anyone who wishes to abuse me for my views, my views are mine. Having them won't affect your life in any way, so calm down 5.Most of my views come form reading . The internet makes things easy. 6. Electricity is not cheap. 113 Likes 9 Shares |

Instead of them to remove power from exclusive list to concurrent list so that state government can generate and distribute their power, if they have excess they sell to the neighboring state. 148 Likes 10 Shares |

Gnaeusmagnus: Which higher bills , are we not spending more on power already ? Do you know that the current thieving DISCOs charge most Nigerians for darkness intead of light ? Do you know Nigerians spend a fortune paying to run generators a day , I spend 100 times more on Generators than I spend of recharging my prepaid meter every year , if I could channel just half of what I spend on Feb to Siemens and they guarantee me 24 hours electricity then I will be fine 192 Likes 7 Shares |

FarahAideed: It is because discos are not being paid by most Nigerians that they put pressure on those of us that do pay, and that they don't have the cash to make the needed improvements. We need something like 40000mw before we can see power 24/7 across the country. And it costs money. That's why power was privatised in the first place 9 Likes |

If this will solve the headache, why not. The present Discos are dancing disco with Nigerians and their intelligence. Briefing reporters after the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting in the State House thursday, the Minister of Power, Mr. Saleh Mamman, said whereas Nigeria currently generates 13,000 megawatts of electricity, it transmits 7,000 to Discos while the distribution companies can only distribute 3,000 megawatts to end users. The bolded caught my attention. So, according to the lousy and talkative Minister, Nigeria generates 13,000 megawatts and are only able to transmit 7000 megawatts almost half the amount generated to Discos, while the Discos, in turn, are only able to distribute 3,000 megawatts, almost half of what was transmitted to them to end-users. I'm seriously trying to make any sense of what gave the minister the right or moral compass to accuse others of what he is guilty of. Mumu people, na only how to apportion blames and award bogus contracts to selves dem sabi. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

Gnaeusmagnus: The current power setup is a total mess that shouldn't have been allowed to happen in the first place ... The problem starts from the DISCOs which make it deliberately very hard for customer to access prepaid meters because this will distort their sale of darkness Business model which estimated bills are used to drive , so the GENCOS generate electricity and wheel it to the DISCOS for distribution and the criminal DISCOS reject upto 70 percent accepting just about 30 percent which the use to bait customers to continue to pay the estimated bills which in reality is a bill for darkness not light , then here comes the crazy part , the useless Federal govt instead of forcing the DISCOSs to deploy prepaid meters and ban estimated bills , an action which will force DISCOS to accept more power from the GENCOS , instead the useless govt decides to pay GENCOS for any electricity the DISCOs reject and this action cost the govt almost a trillion naira annually , why should the govt spend so much on electricity that wasn't utililised in the first place ? The corruption in the power industry bin Nigeria is mind boggling 86 Likes 5 Shares |

Flyingngel: This would be the best option but because they are either bereft of ideas, selfish and parochial in their thoughts it won't happen. Resource control will make every state know how much it has, how much it can borrow and then make informed decision as to who to engage to solve their electricity issue. This would also help regions to come together and use their comparative advantage to solve electricity issues. Eg the SW can easily engage Siemens while the MB can engage another electricity Coy to sort out their needs. Excesses electricity can then be sold to regions/states that may need it instead of engaging another firm. Every state can produce electricity. wind, water/dams all over, and sun can be used. ND use their gas and coal is even an option. 6 Likes |

The Discos can deliver if electricity bill is deregulated. Right now the FG sets the price per kilowatt- and like buffoons, set it at a rate they know is below the minimum needed to generate profit. 6 Likes |
