Nigeria does not need 200,000MW......Population is not the main factor, though it is a variable, load demand is what determines the required MW to be dispatched. Today we have installed capacity of 13,000 MW and we can only wheel about 6,000 MW. The implication is that we are making CAPACITY PAYMENTS to Gencos as eshrined in the PPAs we signed with them because we can't make use of their full capacity which to them is huge financial investments tied down. People who don't know about the power industry talk about population as a determinant of the needed megawatt, but power engineers and those who are real professionals in the industry don't think this way. What is our load demand as a nation? We just need like 25,000MW now and we will be okay as we don't really have many heavy duty industries besides the fact that our wheeling and distribution capacity can't even cope with the 6000 MW we hover around now.

Bros, your submission that we need just 25000MW is not true, I think that's based on our present consumption rate. So, if we look at it critically we need at least 100k+ MW. On the wheeling capacity, I agree with you and my concern is what has FG done about it? This is the only part of the show in their corner and they have failed woefully on it.

You all should relocate 2 ONELGA in River State & enjoy 24/7 power supply without bills..

Restaurant is pay as u eat ...we are owing for 5000mw we transmit and u want people to invest 46 trillion to give u 24hrs light what's the probability u would pay and not owe

How come Nigerians are NOT owing MTN, Glo, Airtel or Etisalat?

In a country where maintenance is a big problem?

Sincerely, every issue in Nigeria usually has many evil surrounding it. So if Mr. A says it this, he's right and when Mr B says it's that, he's also right. Our perception, source(s) of information and awareness usually guide our different submissions which are mostly correct.

So, the FG and NERC has a lot of engagement to do with Nigerians on electricity.

... but here we are, who will drag them to the market square for the next moonlight dance?

I would rather we deal with the real problems than the imagined ones.

So nuclear explossion is an imagination?

where were you when uranium explossion hit lebanon just recently?

Any slight mistake + carelessness of our nigerian people 'll cause massive death if not all, you'll just die without knowing what kills you.

Our lives matter.

that is how some Nigerians will sign their death warrant without even reading terms and conditions, village people will now be the blame

Claim that incompetent leadership is what is stopping Nigeria from having 24/7 electricity is half true. The problem is Nigerian government and Nigerians don’t focus on education and jobs training in areas likely to help Nigeria to build steady electricity supply.

Five years ago, I visited 10 American universities to investigate what Nigerian students were studying when they arrived in the United States. In the process, I interviewed 612 Nigerian students.

And this was what I found:
1. 80% Business Administration
2. 10% Accounting
3. 5% Marketing
4. 3% Economics
5. 1% Computer Science
6. 1% Social work

I also found that no Nigerian was studying engineering, electronic, Mechanical engineering, physics, or other science fields.

For Nigeria to have 24/7 electricity supply, local expertise is key. Foreign countries don’t sell their ideas to others. They make products from their ideas and sell them in form of products and services.

And the worst part is Nigeria is a black country—which means we are always viewed as threat.

It should be noted that in the mid 1970s, west Germany pull out of the contract with Nigeria to build Ajaokuta steel company because western countries thought Nigeria was going to use the steel company to build bombs to attack the west. These countries are still around and they will never teach Nigeria how build its own electricity.

So, for Nigeria to have a steady and sustainable power supply, it has to stop giving scholarship to Nigerians to study business. Instead, Nigeria needs to hand scholarship to those who are going to study science and technology.

In addition, Nigerian government should challenge Nigerians by putting out a reward for any Nigerian who is capable of developing a successful electricity company.

This reward should be in the amount of $5millin to $100million. If the Nigerian put this reward out, we will see a local company in Nigeria develops a steady power supply within one to five years.

While I applaud the federal government of Nigeria effort in its recent engagement with foreign companies and government about finding solution to irregular power supply, I don’t believe it is a lasting solution.

I think these foreign company chasing contract to build electricity supply is trying to rip off the government. When they get their money, they are gone.

The explosion wasn't uranium it was ammonium nitrite. How many nuclear reactor disaster happen frequently for us to not consider it? The latest one was in 2011 and that was in the midst of a greater earthquake and tsunami. Other major incidents happened when nuclear technology was still new.

The Exclusive list & Concurrent list in the imposed 1999 Constitution that is a Forgery.

Read it here: "Electricity Calamity and the Sham 1999 Nigeria Constitution" By Ndidi Uwechue
https://africannewstoday.com/politics/electricity-calamity-and-the-sham-1999-nigeria-constitution/


It is 1000MW for 1 million people

So Nigeria needs 200,000MW

We only have 5000MW so for 5 million people

The article above is clear on this matter.

Dissolution is Nigeria's solution!

but we generate enough to supply to other countries

SUBSIDY is why we are not having 24/7 electricity. Quote me any time. But behind every misgovernance is corruption. You registered a company in January 2020, got a contract in june 2020, become a fuel supplier to NNPC and in August 2020 You are a Subsidy billionaire.
Post 2022 will be unimaginable in the economic life of Nigeria.

Power is a complex industry. It's not enough to just generate.

You drank from the cup of BUHARI MEDIA ORGANISATION and now you are intoxicated with mediocrity. N30, 000 per month go finish one day.

Herkim:


The problem of electricity in Nigeria is been there since the creation of this country. One needs to look at it holistically not to be sentimental about it

We were in this country when past government spent 16billion dollars on electricity without any meaningful achievement.

Incompetent leadership, we chose a man who has never had light as he trained his cows for the past 30 years as president. Failures begets more failures.

God bless Umaru Yar'Adua

why? What did yaradua do? Cos I know he was the slowest unproductive president ever.

Igbochief001:

We don't have the money to invest into power

is this one made? Nigerians are already providing power for themselves privately... power can't be stable as long as there's is exclusive list and power grid enshrined in the constitution..

Any place where witches and wizards are in control of the people darkness will be used as tools.

kikero:


If you were running a business, and 50 percent of your customers were not paying you, won't you be broke?

Power has been privatised since 2013..we ain't paying enough for it.

Sorry, but I am not supporting mediocrity. You on the other hand want to buy a Limousine with the money you would use to buy a motorcycle

I know many Nigerians are poor. But sadly power is expensive. We are not a rich country and the stealing happening every day makes it worse, and Lord knows I hate it.

Isn't this simple. Why do they keep supplying electricity to people that ain't paying. It's as easy as that.

If an area is known for constantly defaulting with payment, DON'T SUPPLY ELECTRICITY TO THEM. Will you as a trader keep giving goods to someone who comes to buy on credit, and haven't paid for the ones owed with no hope in sight of even paying?

It's a BUSINESS and should be run as such. But since the DISCOs are more comfortable with government bailouts and estimated billings, they keep doing the same thing and giving same excuses.

In my area of Lagos, it takes over 5 months to get a prepaid meter AFTER PAYMENT, why should that be. They'll only hasten to give you the prepaid when you disconnect and ask them not to reconnect you until they give you prepaid.

We can't because of the slippery nature of banana peel stop eating banana altogether. DISCOs should supply constant electricity to areas that pay, and give them prepaid meters.

Trust me, Nigerians ARE READY TO PAY if there is constant electricity.

You expect people who cannot get themselves to drive carefully, obey road signs and avoid unnecessary road accidents to manage nuclear energy?

That's how it's been done in almost every developed nations.

Mistakemaker:

Then what do the fg stand to gain by keeping it in the exclusive list and suffering the people.. To me states should be allowed to generate power and supply their states, you will find out some states will have stable electricity

International Powers That Be Are The One BEHIND NIGERIA'S MAJOR PROBLEMS.

Nigeria is Systematically being CHECMATED because if allowed to THRIVED, BRITAIN AND FRANCE grip on at least AFRICA continent is 1,000,000% gone!!

Nigeria have the HUMAN RESOURCES AND NATURAL RESOURCES CAPABILITIES TO BECOME A WORLD POWER OF AT LEAST A FULL FLEDGED REGIONAL WORLD POWER!!

BRITAIN AND FRANCE IS SEEING THIS IN NIGERIA ****and we Nigerians**** have demonstrated this and still demonstrating it till now!!

A small example is the minor bother closure which makes most WEST AFRICAN COUNTRIES start directly and indirectly begging US to please saanu aje! Imagine that!!

Now if Nigeria is left to develop properly without the interference of those 2 mentioned COLONIALISTS, what would have happened to there hand hold on Africa?

The Sabotage you are seeing here and there is not Ordinary. Behind the Scenes, it is internationally Organized.

Think about it: Howcome O.B.J a SOUTHERNER work to nearly erase Nigeria debt and increase Nigeria's foreign Researve but BUHARI is working on the contrary?

Link the dots and you will get the Bigger Picture

it's gonna be a very big Target for terrorist
and maintenance, can FG maintain it
and u said environmental friendly LMFAO
