I agree with you, but you do not truly know the Nigerian mentality.

Many Nigerians who are well paid in private enterprise and who power bill is not up to 5% of their salary, still bypass the metering system for their high power consuming electrical appliances like Air Conditioners.

It is very disgusting.

Even religious leaders across all faith. A very disgraceful and disgusting behavior.

That’s why pre paid meters for individuals must be the way and post paid for corporate organizations. If the big corporate organizations fail, they must be disconnected. If they attempt to bypass the the law must be applied against them.

He surely will not have issues collecting tariffs.
The DISCOs do not have that as a problem. The metering system provides pre paid and post paid for those who can guarantee their payments as at when due.

Certainly no one will steal power through the back door because it is a private initiative. If you do not purchase power, you will be in darkness.

Look, Nigerians spend a lot of money monthly on the purchase of petrol and diesel for their generators. If you make an comparison of the cost of buying petrol and energy purchase, you’ll find the later far cheaper in the end.

Geometric has done well. Let’s see others invest in the power sector.
The issue is the leaders r so bereft of ideas that power generation has become rocket science.
Let the FG unbundle Tcn, or give states without power plants 4 to 5yrs so they can invest in power plants, after that the entire Tcn should be unbundle.
States will now take care of the 3 strands of power, generation, distribution and transmission.
States can then do their internal privatisation or allow local govts to bid for power generation n transmission for their communities...
With these, we r almost getting closer to solving power problems in Nigeria.
How can akwaibom power plant be generating 190mw and we send it first to national grid which inturn distribute to taraba, kogi Kwara ...etc.
The entire northern states don't have power plants that generate up to 500mw of power outside kainji power which was built by Niger Delta funds.

What do you mean he will have issues collecting tarrif?

It is going to be prepaid.

If you no pay, you no go even get light in the first place. When that one finishes, your light automatically goes off even when your neighbours have light.

He ain’t losing.

The only way he’ll lose is if thousands bypass meter which can’t occur because all the meters still belong to him.

Make all these hotel builders diversify abeg
Like prepay can't be bypassed by electricians. Lol.

Edo state already have a functional one for the past 3 years called the OSSIOMO power plant. But the thing with most of the these independent power coy is their service is not cheap but you are guaranteed of stable power supply except when there is an occasional maintenance. My barber around country home road, ugbor GRA, have to ditch NEPA light and pack up his generator for the OSSIOMO power supply. He said regardless of the higher tariff it's cheaper and better than running Generator as a result of of the Epileptic power supply from NEPA. Most businesses, middle and high income earners are beginning to embrace the OSSIOMO too. Although stable and highly efficient but it's not cheap.

Truth is across the globe stable power/energy supply especially in western countries is not cheap.
The bolded is very true. Even people still bypass meter in developed world but it's not common as enforcement of laws are strict. Problem with Nigeria is law enforcement. This who are meant to enforce the law would collect bribe. Even people within the companies would also engage in ilegal practice. Till date, people bribe power companies workers to not disconnect or to also deflate amount on bills.

One single word makes it rocket science. That word is CORRUPTION.

Simply license individuals or corporate organizations like Geometric, just like the telecoms sector and you will see light 24/7.

Truly corruption has found permanent roots in this country.

If the telecoms companies tell us what they see, we will never believe.

The fear is not only with the citizens not paying, but also with internal embezzlement of the company's resources.

But once he built one in his land, it becomes that he looted?
so in your church mind you believe he didn't loot in this obodo naija?
Be honest with yourself
Not everything tribalism
Re: Why Can't Every State In Nigeria Have A Geometric Power Plant??? by Abagworo(m): 8:28am On Mar 11
Many States already have power plants but the national distribution method is what stands Geometric out. Geometric is the only one allowed to distribute its own generated power directly to consumers instead of feeding the National grid.
