Abia Power Project's Success Can Be Replicated In Lagos And Others- Barth Nnaji by Gjrich(m): 5:26pm On Mar 04 |
Geometric Abia power Project’s Success Can Be Replicated In Lagos, Other State-Barth Nnaji A former Minister of Power, Prof Barth Nnaji, has said the newly inaugurated 181 megawatts power plant in Aba, Abia State can be reproduced in Lagos and other states of the country. Nnaji, who is the Chief Executive Officer of Geometric Power Limited, the owner of the Aba power plant, in an interview with Sunrise Daily said replicating the project across the country will be a good way of getting out of the reliance on the national grid. He said: “It’s a blotter, an ink approach. So, if you drop ink on a part of a blotter, then it begins to spread. And if you drop it at various places, then eventually the entire blotter will have ink. If I look at the project that we have here, you can do the same thing in Lagos. “You can do it in Eko, you can do it in Ikeja, you can do it in Kano, you can do it in Kaduna, various places where you have economic activities, industrial activities. “If you begin to look at the possibility of all of them eventually expanding, then that’s what can help the country. You need to have a tight generation and distribution, not a generation that has no direct relationship between generation and distribution. “It is possible for this to be replicated throughout the country. And it will be a very good way to not have to rely on the national grid power arrangement.” A new electricity distribution company, Aba Power Limited Electric has started taking electricity from the plant and supplying it to about nine of the 17 local government areas in the South-East state. According to Nnaji, the power plant’s 188 megawatts capacity is more than the required power needed for the nine LGAs. He said the capacity is almost two-thirds of what Enugu Electricity is currently serving the five South-East states. “By the time we finish installing, we have 188 megawatts capacity, that’s almost two-thirds of what Enugu Disco is serving five states in the East. The way to ensure reliability is that you have to have more than just adequate power. “You have to have more than the requirement of the area. It must be more. So, because you cannot predict peak load for power always, people can just decide to do something and drop power.”

He should replicate it in a Enugu Imo Anambra first. Those in Lagos are wiser than Bart Nnaji father n Lagos will have 24 hours electricity before Abia or Aba can ever dream it. Dangote refinery will be generating over 400 MW to power it business n environs within Lagos. The geometric powered Bart Nnaji built can not even produce up to 200 MW with all the noise on it commissioning. slivertongue:He should replicate it in Enugu Anambra Imo etc 6 Likes |
