Well, they would make the discos more broke then The truth is, you cannot understand Nigeria's electricity problem without first knowing that the cost of power in Nigeria is less than the production cost. Even with this recent price increase, a lot of people are still exempted from the thing, then there are the power thieves and those who don't pay Once you get that, and you also get that gencos have to pay for gas in dollars, not naira, and they have to source for dollars from the open market because the parsimonious CBN won't give then dollars, then you would see why NERC s idea is stark bonkers Either we run electricity as a proper market, where discos and gencos control the price, and end this NBET illusion, or we are never going to have light 24/7 And Nigerians have to pay their power bills. The problems we have with power are compounded by the large number of people who don't pay up 3 Likes |

Excellent! Now everyone will sit up and take responsibility - since there will be penalties. It means DISCOs would be forced to overhaul their networks to ensure they can take up and distribute their allocated loads; while the TCN would have ensure it transmits to DISCOs their requisite allocations. My only fear is whether NERC would be brave enough to penalise the TCN when appropriate given that the said company is also owned by the same govt which NERC represents. |

GamalNasser: And the discos were.distributing darkness because until last week, they were selling power at 30 naira per kWh and less, while it cost 53 naira per kWh to produce said power. All the discos have been running at a loss since inception because we don't want to run them as private companies. Also, in many areas, between 40-50 percent of subscribers to the discos don't pay their bills. Nationally it is 60 percent I know Nigerians complain about darkness. But the thing is, the discos and gencos inherited a wrecked sector. And it is going to take a lot of money to fix things. But we Nigerians want them to build our power sector for us free of charge. Remember GSM. It used to be very expensive. Because the GSM companies had to build our whole infrastructure from scratch. Nitel was to messed up to produce backbone for basic GSM calls . The problem I have with Nigerians and electrical power is , we refuse to acknowledge that it is expensive, and it has to be paid from our pockets. We all paid for GSM . See where we are now 1 Like |
