jmoore: Resources are owned and controlled by the Federal government. No state government has the right to harness the resources in their state. That's why people are calling for restructuring. Now, you know how your country works. 3 Likes |

That's one of the best solution to this problem we are in. Each States should generate their electricity. |

No problem, but the thing is, for me 1.States must be allowed to charge for power at a profit, not at a loss 2.Poeple, and governments, and companies, must all pay for the power they consume...yes even if you 'have not gotten a meter, or have not had power for 2 weeks' ...because that is how the power companies would get money to fix things. 3 Likes |

Goddyj: Setting high standards doesn't change anything in Nigerian politics. These things are even worse in states with no strong opposition. For instance, Sullivan Chime set a high standard in Enugu as governor. When he left the stage, a hopeless buffoon aka madam replaced him. It has also happened in Cross River, Delta, etc. 2 Likes |

For it this to be effective, fiscal Federalism should be adopted. |

Better for me in Rivers state, I don't see why the electricity generated here will be used to power Abuja and Gombe when I don't even have enough light. Everybody should carry their cross biko 4 Likes |

Starberg: Good when generating,under what distribution lines will they use,Many of our distribution lines are obselete,after generating,you use what Transmission line,I'll use Geometric power in Aba lying idle for years,the design of the plant was great,They created their own distribution line independent of Govt transmission line,infact if they are operating,90% of companies in Aba wants to be integrated to their system,where are they today,power plant lying Idle, Is a good Law but the environment is not conducive . States like Lagos,Portharcourt,Aba with a high industrial cluster can do it. On the areas of Gas,All states needs to be interconnected with Gas,like In Aba the gas line is from Portharcourt,. Many of the Discos are liquidated,under the Management of the banks.very soon many of the Disco staff be going on strike. Power Management needs a proper seperation from all the different entities,Discos,Gencos and Transmission 1 Like |

Parachoko:There are backdoors to bypass selling your electricity to NBET. There are arrangements where private entities generate electricity and sell directly to customers. The biggest backdoor I see is incorporating towns or parts of ot into business entities that have the right to buy electricity from power plants. The world is moving away from grid electricity to modular or own power production. 2 Likes |

The bill is about generating, transmitting and distribution of power. Generation of electricity is not the major problem that we have ( though) we are still not generating enough but transmission and distribution. The gencos have a lot of generated power not being taken off by TCN and subsequently discos because of infrastructural deficits but with the passing of this bill, the power sector is expected to open up well, depending on the political will of state actors. State actors can generate and distribute power to the people within their locale. State actors can set up distribution channels directly from gencos to communities and so on. The possibilities are endless. There are a whole lot of wasted power from private firms that can now be distributed for people to use. Though power is not cheap, but it stimulates the economy and increases purchasing power so people should be able to afford it. It also brings competition, giving these discos a run for there money 1 Like |

This is good news, any governor that cannot generate electricity for his state will lose investments to states that can. Hope the 10th assembly will revisit the issue of state police, we need to decentralize the police |
Re: What's Your Take On State Generating Their Electricity by Focusmind: 11:05am On Mar 03, 2022 |
The advent of Discos is the biggest scam ever in the electricity sector. It has hindered serious investors from investing, since DISCOS now controls the distribution network assets and have refused private investors from accessing those legacy infrastructure assets they acquired from the defunct PHCN and NEPA, respectively. As long as discos still have monopoly over the transmission and connection lines, any State government that wants to distribute electricity would have to go through them and their inefficiencies and ineptitudeness will be transferred to it. If distribution is still in the hands of government under the former PHCN, state could agree with FG to generate and transmit through the network and distribution infrastructure located in their respective states. |

Parachoko: I was in Portharcourt a while ago and the establishment I visited was considering migrating from the State grid to the Federal Grid which was more stable in that location. I did see two distinct 33kv lines passing overhead. Didn't quite understand how that worked out in this present power regime. Riverians should enlighten us about this. |

While Abuja continues to take the lion share of proceeds from mineral resources and internationally generated revenues. This is roguish, as Abuja continues to shed its responsibilities to the people. 1 Like |
