If you have money, just invest in Solar. I did it and now have my peace of mind. Except that the solar cant power my sumo pumping machine and freezer and the power output declines once the whether is cloudy. But 99% of the time, I enjoy my uninterrupted clean energy and power.

Get solar compatible devices. I av solar freezer that smallest petrol generator (I better pass my neighbor) can power. Consumes less Dan 120 watts.

All my fans are 10 watts each and my bulbs 5 watts. I am saving more energy and enjoying my solar.

wahala for who no dey "line 33"

The one wey tire me pass na why my area new trsnsformer of less than 3 months blow up for a second time a few days ago

F117nighthawk:
The best way to teach this scammers and thieves called discos a big lesson is to boycott and stop paying their bills,but Nigerians will never unite and speak with one voice, I have been on generator for over a year in my area now since I refused to be connected to their grid to be paying crazy estimated bills as they are yet to supply me their meter. I keep saying this, if everybody act the way I acted, this nonsense they do will be a thing of the past

Favors you because Electricity ain't constant bin your area.

Some areas have got at least 18hours supply a day.

What will you say about that?

franciskaine:
I understand your point. But are these discos telling us they reject power because Nigerians have enough? Cos I don't just understand it. Even in areas whr they reject loads, customers are in darkness. So the rationale behind this still befuddles the mind.

I have asked this same question times without number. If you sell power to make money, why keep people in darkness if they are ready to pay for power? Many things don't add up.

My theory is that the intelligent brains behind the power issue are same brains with the highest investments in PMS and diesel import. The proportion of steady power delivered to consumers is inversely proportional to the quantity of PMS and diesel imported.
They are quick to award contracts for construction of power plants, but how many of these power plants are actually operational?
Steady cash out day in day out.
I may be wrong.

Good for them, i don't pay for what I don't consume, it's general attitude of Nigerian to pay for extortion, it's a sacrifice I have to make on my own path, if they bring my meter then it's pay as u go

FarahAideed:


Point of correction it's rejected and not lost ...The baffling thing is the FG pays for every MW rejected ...you can't make this up

rejected, why? When the whole isn't even up To 1% of what we need

Why is IBEDC not talking? They should also say something o.

edoairways:

It is not reliable

but Nepa is? Make it make sense

lexy2014:


after collecting PVC and voting for "youthful, competent, intelligent and vibrant Leaders", whats next? is that where it ends?

journey of thousand miles start with......

80% of that loss would be attributed to electricity theft.

good. thats a good step. after collecting PVC and voting for "youthful, competent, intelligent and vibrant Leaders", whats next?

lexy2014:


good. thats a good step. after collecting PVC and voting for "youthful,

No be by youth
Yahaya
Bankole
Saraki
All youths
All useless

competent,

If truly competent
Then you're done
Just continue to vote them in
It's not a one and done
It must be maintained

intelligent and vibrant Leaders"

Not by intelligence or vibrancy either
West was built by old men "robber barons"(capitalism)
Not young politicians(socialism)

, whats next?

not sure how what u said answers d question: after collecting PVC and voting for "youthful, competent, intelligent and vibrant Leaders", whats next?

why can't system collapse be resolved all these years, nah rocket science?

At least somebody can now give reason for outage and apologize.

I guess it's Maiduguri. Since on the 25th of January till date no power supply. We already get used to it.

Elsueno:


Did u know, there is a state capital in Nigeria with over 3 million people that's hasn't seen electricity since January this year?.....I kid u not ....when my paddy told me, I was shocked....the whole stats capital woh...... Nigeria always finds a way to disappoint person

pedrilo:

The infrastructure can sell 13MW for how many hours per day in a week? Let us know to give room for other investors to come in.
You cant hold us in blind captivity

That was where FG goofed during the privatization scheme. A clause should have been included that would ensure periodic upgrade and expansion on the existing transmission infrastructure.

But Bill will still be coming for those without meter...

National grid has collapsed but their starts are already on the stress or Lagos disconnecting people's light.

God punish Atiku and his cronies

Limited sun especially during rainy season, high cost of installation and durability of solar panels are the bottleneck of Solar energy in Nigeria

plus plus for you. Everything Nigeria is a departure from the norm.

limited is better than zero
Durability is choice (cost )
Cost is relative
The fuel one buys into gen does up costing more

Limited supply using backup is pennywise pound foolish. It cost more in the short run if all things are not equal

depends. For domestic use, solar is OK.
But not for manufacturing and other heavy uses
