Ok maybe we are saying the same thing from different angles.
BUT I still don't think we should abandon the existing transmission out-rightly. We have seen generators and transformers go up in flames. That can also happen to a local power station. The idea of national transmission is to create room for flexibility and maneuvering. Imagine something happens to Eko disco that is exclusively generating and serving Lagos. If anything happens to the transformer or generator without the flexibility of "sharing" power with the rest of the country, the entire state will be under darkness while their will be power in Mowe and Ibafo

I think the national grid should be left alone for now and concentrate on local/regional generation with the possibility of taking/pushing power from/to the national grid when it becomes necessary. Let us not get too carried away and throw away the baby with the bathwater.

The Future is Micro

The traditional centralized approach to electricity production and distribution has long been susceptible to the domino effect where a relatively minor event in one part of the grid can lead to cascading failures effecting large numbers of customers. Microgrids and distributed electricity generation can firewall the grid, creating local independence and enhanced reliability among many other benefits.

We don't need those. What stops Enugu from generating power from coal?

What stops the North from setting up solar farms and wind farms?

Gas can always be transported for small plants without pipelines.

Generate power where you need the power. We don't need those. What stops Enugu from generating power from coal? What stops the North from setting up solar farms and wind farms? Gas can always be transported for small plants without pipelines.

Develop powers where you need the power. No point distributing again.

Mynd44:
Good question.
As of today, Nigeria depends on imported petroleum products right? How does those products get to the hinterland from the ports on the coast?

gists:
Thank you jare my broda. We don't really need this much dependence on the national grid. Although I will not be too eager to say it should be demolished out-rightly. I think Nigeria is basically covered by the spread of the various DISCOs. If there is any law preventing the DISCOs from generating power for there jurisdictions, such laws should be reviewed and relaxed. Of what benefit is a DISCO that doesn't get power to distribute to its customers? If we let the DISCOs generate a percentage of the power demand from their localities and augment with whatever they get from the national grid, we would have solved over 60% of our electricity problem without having to wait for another decade to fix the national grid.

Reference:
But what will power these numerous plants: fuel or gas. Fuel means a cobweb of pipelines, the eldorado of vandals, if it is gas then the risk around residential areas is better imagined. Trucking means gridlock and inefficiency especially when a plant may be drinking a truck an hour. There is a reason modern economies scale up. Efficiency rises with scale. How ever I agree that we can't start seeking efficiency.

But ENRON na fake company na

The AES Barge, the first Independent Power Project in Nigeria was formed in 1999 as a result of a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) between the Lagos State Government and Enron for purchase of electricity. The PPA was split into three (3) phases;

Phase 1: was for three barge-mounted electricity generating units, having an aggregate nominal capacity of 90MW

Phase II: was the design, construction and, operation of a simple cycle electricity generating facility with a nominal capacity of 548 MW

Phase III: was another set of barge-mounted electricity generating units with an aggregate nominal capacity of 180MW.

Phase IV: was never fully materialised hence the project proceeded with only Phases I and III with their barges located at Egbin near Ikorodu.

Based on the the legal and regulatory regime at that time, the agreement was for LASG to buy power from Enron which would be distributed by NEPA in addition to any electricity not generated by the barges. The Purchased Power was to be distributed to Ikeja, Oshodi, Victoria Island, Marina, Lekki and Apapa. The plant commenced operations in June 2001 with a total aggregate capacity of 270 MW which is currently being injected into the national grid.

How did akwa ibom and Niger states come about their own power,i hear they have steady light in those states,or did they also invest in the microgrid?

It cost 3 - 5 million naira for a fully functional solar power sytem for a bungalow. so many nigerians cant afford that.

I have a similar hypothesis and I have not seen why it should not work. I stated this on another thread a few days ago.

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, has said that the state’s Independent Power Plants, has reduced the government’s energy cost by 40 per cent.

Fashola spoke on Tuesday at the opening ceremony of the three-day 7th Lagos State Climate Change Summit, with the theme: ‘Seven years of climate change governance in Lagos State: Celebrating success stories, reviewing challenges and setting future agenda.’

The state government recently inaugurated the 8.5 megawatts Peninsula integrated power project, which is the fifth of such IPPs built in the last five years.

The governor said, “In the area of energy conservation, our independent power plants have led to the reduction of power costs in the running of critical public utilities such as schools, hospitals, waterworks and police stations by close to 40 per cent.

“This is not the end of the journey; we have used cleaner fuel, mainly gas, and this has led to the decommissioning of 400 generators and an annual sustainable carbon dioxide emission reduction, leading to a cleaner and greener environment in our state.”

The governor noted that the state had also invested in solar power, which currently serves about 127 public schools and 11 primary health care centres.

He said the state had also made giant strides in the area of waste management.

“Waste management in Lagos is much more improved and I am glad that we have lost the unenviable status of being the dirtiest city in the world and Lagos has become the centre of study on how to manage waste,” he said.

The Commissioner for the Environment, Mr. Tunji Bello, said when the summit began in 2009, the goal was to use the platform as a principal vehicle not only for drawing public attention to the challenges that climate change posed to humans, but also to explore all available mitigation and adaptation options.

“This is understandable given that Lagos State with its topography, vast coast line and burgeoning population is most vulnerable to the vagaries of climate change,” he said.

Right.....you apc folks are so smart you will basically write the book in the field of micro power generation and distribution in no less a place that in developing africa.
The more I think about it I have visions of a nobel price of some such award going to the buhari government for inovation in power infrastructure development in developing countries.

My now obviously inadequate education in engineering lead me to believe that in a hundred and thirty years of reserch , development,management experience and inovation in the field of electrical power generation,transmission and distribution, there is a valid reason that the disteibuted power infrastructure models have be only cousarily examined and discarded repeatedly.

The laws of physics not to mention economics will slap the fantasy illusions from your eyes soon enough all the propagandar defence in the world will not even come close to being enough.

vanunu:
Can u give an example of just one country that produces electricity in bits?

The San Diego County California community of Borrego Springs is home to an experimental microgrid funded in part by a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy. The goal is to showcase and test various aspects of microgrid technology including smart meters, distributed renewable energy generation, and energy storage. While not completely cut-off from the main grid, the Borrego Springs micro grid can act as a self-contained island grid that can maintain power on its own should the main grid experience a power shortage.

[b]The Future is Micro

The traditional centralized approach to electricity production and distribution has long been susceptible to the domino effect where a relatively minor event in one part of the grid can lead to cascading failures effecting large numbers of customers. Microgrids and distributed electricity generation can firewall the grid, creating local independence and enhanced reliability among many other benefits.

For the developing world, microgrids could mean the difference between having electricity and not having electricity. Just as the cell phone brought telecommunications to many underdeveloped parts of the world where telephone landline infrastructure was never put into place, microgrids can have a similar impact on parts of the world that lack the expensive infrastructure required to bring electricity to the masses.

These new technologies will be disruptive because they are smaller, cheaper, better and, perhaps most importantly, they empower individuals, and communities.[/b]

Mynd44:
This has been what Osinbajo has been proposing all these while. To be honest, we Nigerians don't really know the exact issue with power generation and the National grid.

If Nigeria generates anything more that 7,500MW and feeds it to the grid, everything is going to come down as our distribution lines cannot take that much power. We don't not have the facilities so building huge power plants is not the way.

What we can do is to generate the power in bits. As Osinbajo have said, generate power when it will be consumed so we don't spend too much time and money on distribution. Each Local government or LCDA depending on the consumption. Perhaps even a locality can come together to have a 10MW plant for that area and they are good to go.

To keep building huge plants and hoping to connect then to the grid is a waste that has proven to be the way not to go.

With this bit by bit module, each locality can look at what they have and use it to generate power, gas in most places, some can use renewable power especially in the North where there are huge opportunities for wind and solar power.

In the south, I will like to see a Badagry power plant Ltd. that wants to harness the Atlantic ocean through tidal power. At least the beaches there have not been tamed like the ones on Lagos Island so it is possible.

These bit by bit generation will culminate into something tangible but first we need legislation for it to work as right now, the power generation laws state that if you generate anything greater than 1mw, you have to connect to the grid. This is where policy, plans, entrepreneurship and dedication combination will coke into play

austinvsb1:
A huge fan of buhari and apc but constant electricity is a must if the apc wants to win nigerian hearts, anything short of that doesn't bode well come 2019. Any means to achieve this will be highly welcomed,

Meanwhile, i seriously hope and pray that fashola rules this country someday soon, this man is blessed with visions and ideas.

Stable electricity is possible!

What we hear before is that well, there is generation but there is no gas, so we don’t want to get to that when the talk would be there is electricity but there is no transformers, so we are already ahead of the curve and that factory will also be manufacturing meters in the plant,” the governor said. The Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Oando Oil, Mr Wale Tinubu, explained that Alausa IPP will run primarily on gas and reduces pollution that emanates from diesel generation that was hitherto in use across the secretariat.

By Dapo Akinrefon

OVER the years, the issue of power generation has been Nigeria’s biggest problem. Since the advent of the Fourth Republic in 1999, power has been in the front burner, without an end to the problem. Past administrations proffered solutions to tackling the hydra in the power sector but have virtually failed in this regard. Interestingly, politicians have had to dwell more on providing solutions to this during electioneering campaigns.

LIGHT-of-BOften times, the power issue takes centre stage during electioneering campaigns but not much has been achieved over the years in this regard. Where we are: Unbundling NEPA: Besides, prior to the enactment of the Electric Power Sector Reform (EPSR) Act 2005, the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) was responsible for policy formulation, regulation, operation, and investment in the Nigerian power sector. Regulation of the sector was done through the Federal Ministry of Power (FMP) with operations through the National Electric Power Authority (NEPA).
To address the twin issues of NEPA’s poor operational and financial performance, the FGN amended the then prevailing laws (Electricity and NEPA Acts) in 1998 to remove NEPA’s monopoly and encourage private sector participation. The amendments, however, were not far-reaching. This informed FGN of the need to undertake holistic policy, legal and regulatory reforms.
The National Electric Power Policy, 2001, specifies the reform agenda, while EPSRA provides the legal basis for the unbundling of NEPA, the formation of successor companies and the privatisation of the latter. EPSRA also provides for the development of a competitive electricity market, the establishment of a dedicated regulatory body and the establishment of a rural electrification agency.
Consequently, FGN established the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN – the initial holding company) and subsequently unbundled it into eighteen (18) successor companies. Strategically, the objectives of the reform include: the transfer of management and financing of SC operations to the organised private sector; the establishment of an independent and effective regulatory commission to oversee and monitor the industry; and focusing the FGN on policy formulation and long-term development of the industry.
This step was perceived by many to lead to increased access to electricity services; improved efficiency, affordability, reliability and quality of services; and greater investment into the sector to stimulate economic growth. However, nothing much seems to have been achieved in this sector. And Jonathan tried: Though the President Goodluck Jonathan administration worked round the clock to the solve the epileptic power supply, its successes were limited.
Only recently, President Jonathan inaugurated the rehabilitated Unit 6 and the overhauled Unit 4 of the Egbin Power Station in Lagos, which effectively added 240 megawatts to the national grid and also restored the power plant to its full capacity of 1,320 megawatts. With the completion of the projects, the country’s power generation capacity now stands at 5,500 megawatts for the first time in history but actual generation was 3,800 megawatts as a result of the recent acts of vandalism on the Escravos-Lagos pipeline network, which supplies gas to some power stations.
Powerstations
Speaking at the official inauguration of Units 4 and 6 at Egbin, the president said the initiative was a major milestone in the government’s power reform programme. But not many Nigerians are impressed with this development.

[b]Tinubu’s ENRON: During Bola Tinubu’s administration,the governor was able to pressurise the federal government into approving the take-off of the multi-million project by ENRON International Energy Corporation.
Tinubu had boasted that “before long, Lagosians will have at least 270 Megawatts dedicated to Lagos State in addition to the Statutory allocation from NEPA that will make sure that at any given time, between 80 per cent to 90 percent of our electricity problems are solved.” “Now with the take-off of ENRON, Lagos State stands to benefit from this project,” Tinubu noted.
Perhaps Tinubu’s dream is becoming a reality. The Tinubu administration did all that was humanly possible in order to achieve the ENRON breakthrough while the deliberations with the federal government lasted. Tinubu then asserted: “What we have achieved now is our own big giant step in the moon.”
He explained that the reason why he has been excited by this breakthrough lies in the fact that “we made a promise to the electorates in Lagos State that ours is a commitment to the infrastructural development that will lead to economic growth, poverty alleviation, independence of small scale industries, where research and development, and the hopes and aspirations of big and small professionals will flourish. This is the beginning of that joy and we are going to achieve it.”
Lagos IPP: However, the Lagos State government has tried to take the bull by the horns in solving the power problem. The commencement and installations of power plants in strategic places across the state has gone a long way in reducing the epileptic power problem.
Powergeneration
But one snag for the Lagos government has always been that of distribution. This is as a result of the fact that only the Federal government has the franchise of power generation and distribution. To ensure under-served commercial and industrial districts get access to reliable power supply via the use of Independent Power Projects, the Lagos State Government successfully commenced operations in three power plants – AES Barge, Akute Power, Island Power Project and one transformer factory – El Sewedy transformer factory by means of Public Private Partnership (PPP).
There are plans under-way to develop multiple IPPs across the state, currently the Alausa Power Project and the Island Power Project Expansion are currently in development. Governor Babatunde Fashola said it also showed that the money to improve the Nigerian economy is in the country, “since we don’t need the World Bank to come and do this for us.”
The governor noted that, “let no one say that he has no money to deliver power for the entire country. This is the limit to which the law allows us to do, but we have done this to make a statement that power can be generated. So, when they come with lies that power is impossible, you can tell them that we have power here; we make it possible.”[/b]

[b]The Lagos template
Already, the Lagos State government has recorded a feat as the state secretariat, Alausa became the first in the country to run its own power. Fashola, recently flagged off 10.6 Megawatts, MW, Alausa Power Project, with the capacity to power the entire state Secretariat, Alausa and Obafemi Awolowo Way. The project was executed through Public Private Partnership, PPP, with Oando Gas and Fidelity Bank Plc.
The Alausa IPP is expected to boost social welfare component for the public officers as the plant has an impact in improving the work environment, the work quality, the work ethics and improved efficiency as well as improve power supply generally in the state. The power project, will supply power to 62 buildings and 160 departments within the secretariat to bring an end to the usual epileptic power supply in the area.
Expressing his reservations over the inability of state governments to generate its own power, Fashola said, “it is bad enough that we don’t generate our own electricity, the public power is 12. 75k per kilowatts per hour, but we are generating our power at sometimes four or five times more than that.” According to him,”in Magodo for example, they spend N8million a day in the whole estate on diesel, when it should have cost them just about N2 million public power.

Even Lekki spends about N12m a day, when it should have cost them about N3million a day. So these are the numbers we are seeing. If you buy energy saving bulbs, it may be more costly but you would save seven times more over a longer period when using it.”The governor, who re-iterated that the solution to unemployment and jobs creation, improved economic situation lies in made in Nigeria goods, and expressed delight that the Alausa IPP is another made-in-Nigeria project, delivered by a Nigerian government with two Nigerian companies using largely Nigerian personnel to solve a Nigerian problem.
He disclosed that, according to records, the project would be a substitute for over 120 generators which were being used at the Secretariat at the last count. The state government is not resting on its oars, as it intends to focus, within the next 12 months, on public power, schools, hospitals, street-lights, courtrooms, religious institutions, among others.
Fresh IPPs are scheduled to also commence in; Lekki to power the Lekki Water Works, Ikeja GRA that will power the General Hospital, High Court, the Police Command and the Ikeja Water Works expected to be fully completed in 2016. “We already have a transformer manufacturing plant and so we are going ahead to ensure that when the power is ultimately here, the components to bring it to peoples’ home will be available.

What we hear before is that well, there is generation but there is no gas, so we don’t want to get to that when the talk would be there is electricity but there is no transformers, so we are already ahead of the curve and that factory will also be manufacturing meters in the plant,” the governor said. The Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Oando Oil, Mr Wale Tinubu, explained that Alausa IPP will run primarily on gas and reduces pollution that emanates from diesel generation that was hitherto in use across the secretariat.

Enhancingsecurity
He added that the Alausa Secretariat campus and Awolowo Road Street light, will also be powered by the power plant, thus enhancing the security of the citizens at night, adding that the strong commitment shown by the Lagos State government before the commencement of the project ensured that the negotiations did not flounder. On her part, the General Manager, Lagos State Electricity Board, Mrs. Damilola Ogunbiyi, said that the IPP would save government about N30 million.
APC’s solution to power difficulty[/b]

During the 2015 electioneering campaign, the All Progressives Congress, APC, told Nigerians its plan for steady power when voted into power. During one of its campaigns, Vice President-elect, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, said an APC-led Federal Government can provide steady power supply by installing Independent Power Projects in strategic parts of the country. Perhaps this informed Osinbajo’s recent visit to Lagos state to study the perceived success of the state government’s IPPs.
As a way of using the Lagos state IPP template to tackle power supply across the country, Osinbajo said already, IPPs were being used to provide steady electricity in courts and hospitals across Lagos State and this could be expanded. According to him, “what we must understand is that the Federal Government has privatised power distribution and generation, not transmission and we feel transmission should be privatised as well.

Proper gasinfrastructure
We don’t have power today because generating plants can’t get gas supply and this is also largely because of the bad pipes. If we wait until we can set up proper gas infrastructure, it can take 10 to 15 years before we can get steady power supply.” He was quick to add that “we have decided to decentralise power.” “For example, in Lagos we have IPPs in Marina which generates 10 megawatts and it powers hospitals and courts. We also have in Ikeja. They do not have problems of gas supply.

The IPPs are directly connected to the place we want it to power. If we can mobilise our trade groups in certain areas, we can provide 24-hour power for them. Also, we can then provide for local governments. In Lagos for instance, the state government already knows the power needs of each local government so we can provide IPPs as well,” he said.
Osinbajo further said the price of gas must also be deregulated so that more private companies could invest in the sector and increase power supply. With his victory at the just conducted polls, the President-elect, Maj-Gen Muhammudu Buhari (retd), has an herculean task of ensuring the power problem in the country is resolved soon.

Where the living buys the dead, From the mortuary, through the cemetery and finally to Jankara market in Lagos, the thriving business in human parts

IN the state of Lagos, the economic capital of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, various activities (notorious ones for that matter) have been going on among the living against the dead. The living have been disturbing the dead, grave crimes are being perpetuated against the dead as wicked and hardened Nigerians go to any length at making money. Even, the living is also victims of these notorious and wicked people who derive pleasure in hurting and putting people through pain and sorrowful death before taking their human parts for various purposes ranging from rituals and money making. According to our source who prefers to remain unidentified, these people are very young Nigerians. “ All these small, small boys get plenty money and dem they carry gun de waka about, when they come in the night for human parts they no de price am, dem go just pay us the money”. He said their activities start in the mid-night of every day. The source went further to say that depending on the type and size, either fresh ones or the decayed, determines the price for the human parts. When asked how they who work in the cemetery meet up with the demands for human parts, he said that they get human parts from various sources. The Ikoyi cemetery is divided into two parts. The first part is the one they call the part for permanent burial which is located at both left and right of the road and very close to the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN). While the second part is the temporary site located at the back of the FRCN at the extreme end of Ikoyi, close to the former Federal Secretariat and SSS building, Alagbon in Ikoyi. The bulk of the human parts sold at Ikoyi cemetery is from this temporary site because those buried at this part of the cemetery are unknown people and bodies that are not claimed at the mortuary which are brought for mass burial. After their bodies are buried, and usually they are buried by these same labourers, the grave site is identified. When night comes and their customers arrived, they exhume the bodies and after placing orders for specific parts, they slice off the parts and have the body reburied. The preference of the cemetery for purchase of human parts by these people is because according to National Daily findings, parts from the cemetery are fresh ones which are just buried that same day or a day later. For these reason they are very expensive. The parts that are mostly on demand are the female bosom, public hair, the male organ and the tongue. The most expensive and most difficult human part to obtain is the heart, it is difficult because it depends on what they want to use it for and the process of extracting the heart from the body is rather difficult because if not properly done it may be damaged and becomes useless. “Putting into consideration the type of vehicles that these people bring when they come for the purchase and the calibre of some prominent people who at times come to the cemetery with their herbalist to perform some rituals, it is going to be very difficult before the perpetrators of this act can be brought to book” the source said. These prominent Nigerians according to our source who made me swore to an oath before he continued talking use these human parts for longetivity, to extend their life span on earth and to cure some ailment that defile medical solutions. They also use the heart of women to look more beautiful and younger. The Yoruba's call this “Ogun Ajidewe” The other categories of buyers are those who want to make use of the human parts for money making and for self defence so that they would be saved from attacks of their enemies and opponents. The parts mostly used for money making are the female bosom and the public hair, using the human eye is out of fashion because at times it fails to perform as expected. When the National Daily reporter pressed further with questions on why there is increase in ritual murders in the state of Lagos, our source said cases of ritual murders have reduced greatly because people who seek fresh human parts have found out it is much more difficult to abduct people and kill them but that it is easy to come to the cemetery and purchase with “ease”. “After all the dead is dead no matter what if they do not cut it off it will just decay”, the source said. This human parts business has even gone beyond the cemetery in Lagos. Now a days, human parts are not only sold in cemeteries but also at market places where intending customers wishing to purchase human parts ranging from tongue to fingers, human bosoms to male genital organs or private parts including human skulls. This market where human parts are sold is located in the very heart of Lagos and it is a very popular market where various goods ranging from house hold items to industrial goods are sold, they are easily available in this market and when you move deeper inside the market there is a section where herds are sold, for different kinds of sicknesses such as malaria fever, black soap, "Osedudu" and other natural remedies used for traditional practices. The name of this market is the famous and popular Jankara market in Lagos Island. It stretches from the beginning of Adeniji Adele Bridge up to the very end of Idumota. It is a very big and wide market and if you are not very conversant with the market you might lose your way. Traders in human parts at the Jankara market get their stocks from three main sources and these are the cemetery, from dead bodies lying on the road side and from the mortuary where bodies that are not claimed and meant for mass burial are sold to these traders who after taking their own parts dump the body anywhere. This is one of the reasons while ?lifeless bodies are found on the street of Lagos with some of the parts sliced off. “Not all these bodies are victims of ritual murders”; some are bodies of unclaimed corpses sold out to merchants who deal in human parts”. If you are not in the business of purchasing human parts or conversant in the way and manner business is done at the market, you might get yourself into trouble in the market. They operate with signs mostly done with the eyes. They know themselves and they know the stalls to go for their purchase. “These means that you cannot just go into Jankara market and say you want to buy human parts, you will get yourself into trouble”. National Daily investigation further shows that human parts have a different name in Jankara, at Jankara, human part is called “Melumo” meaning keep your mouth shut. It also comes in two categories which are called TUTU or GBIGBE meaning fresh or dried parts. So immediately you are able to identify your merchant through signs and the use of slogans, he will immediately understand that you are a human parts buyer. Despite the renovation and construction due to the modernization of the city by the state government, Jankara keeps striving because the merchants in Jankara have a way of perfecting their business within the environment, the human parts are not displayed nor neither is any part of the market designated as a section for the selling of human parts. But the business of human parts selling is so perfected that when a buyers is around communication are made swiftly through eye signs and slogans that only those involve in the business can understand it. Secondly Jankara human parts market is still striving because the merchants are so good in preserving the human parts from decaying and keeping it in good condition for the specific purpose it is needed for. In the course of our investigation, National Daily spoke to some residents of Lagos Island and they confirm the validity of the sale of human parts at Jankara market but most of them prefer not to talk extensively on it but said the tradition in human parts sale in Jankara has been going on for so many years.[/b]
