Mahama was very visionary

The country peak demand has approached 4000MW....


All the NPP shout about excess capacity for which they cancelled a lot of power agreements,will catch up with them very soon

vankelvin:
Reminder, the average Ghanaian lives better than the average Kenyan.

rvp20182:
NEDCO can barely do a thousand unit gwh. VRA is like Kengen in kenya. It sell power to ECG and NEDCO.

VRA itself is a distributor for so many communities

Facts and not assumptions

rvp20182:
Compare kenya power company and Ghana main electricity company results

EGH (2018) and KPLC (2019)

KPLC -The total units purchased rose to 11,493 GWh from 10,702 GWh in the previous period representing
an increase of 7.4%. Power sold 8,769.

Ghana -Power purchased 10,900 and Power sold 8,251

https://kplc.co.ke/img/full/ypSsKdhsre3z_KPLC%20ANNUAL%20REPORT%202019_20%20FOR%20WEB.pdf

Give and take few units sold by Northern.

Kenya has a lot of industries on their own generated power.

add VRA and Nedco and you will have 19,716.59 GWh

Kenya will have to break it back to consume this much electricity



Ghana electricity demand is growing at 10.2% annually....

This is real transformational growth
That is additional 400MW every year

[s]

rvp20182:
Generation efficiency is deducted from installed capacity. You installed capacity is 5000Mw - you only manage to generate 2800Mw - and only 1800mw or about - end up in consumers who pay the bill.
System losses are lost through rickety transmission connection - Ghana has Africa worst - losing 1/4 of all power it supplies.
That is why your electricity companies are ever broke.[/s]

Madness at every front


Yet we are able to meet our 4000MW peak demand without import


Go back home and do the maths again, its simple addition and subtractions

Dont tell me, they didn't teach you that in a kenyan KG

A Ghanaian today consumes 6 to 8 times the amount of electricity that poor backward kenyans consume

rvp20182:
Bla de bla. Mad cow such statistics are freely available - they are no a hidden gem like your gold. Just type Ghana peak power demand...remove system losses...it about 1800mW

Since they are not hidden,why dont you take the time to find it, since you are interested..?


Madness is doing you


Lunatic does not even know what peak demand is ....... system losses is deducted from Available Generation and not demand..... fool
At peak hours, the demand must be served so, generation capacity is run above demand to account for the losses

That is why, at any given point, Ghana generation capacity must be 25% above peak demand...


Currently, Ghana does not have anymore surplus capacity that it pays for..

rvp20182:
Link? Mad cow?

Lunatic
Go back to the previous thread and you will see all the links I sent to you concerning this..... I'm not about to start all over again

vaxx:
I hate when i am talking to an idiot who speaks from both sides of the mouth, you can't be accepting a valid and invalidating it at the same time. you earlier reject dumsor, fact was thrown at you, you responded back with another fact validating my initial premises. You again look for excuse, the fact was thrown at you further, you end up running syphilis of the mouth.

even in USA, repairing and maintenance are continuous work, you should stupidly know it by now. they are times light go off for such purposes.


well, i hope the "1 nairobians youth, 1 wheelbarrow " policy is going up well.

Wheelbarrow for transportation?

rvp20182:
Stop shouting like an he-goat on heat and listen FOR ONCE. KENYA is MILES AHEAD In quality of power. Do you see anybody complaining in kenya about dumsor or power rationing or NEPA?

In kenya if power goes off - there an emergency that respond within 1hr in many places. Rolling blackout those are rare unless it some rural places where a transformer has knocked down.

Nigeria has installed capacity of 10,000MW but it collapses every time; The same with Ghana; 5000Mw; that use waste 2500mw; and pay 1B dollars...that is wasted excess charge.

If you were using your brain like kenya - you would have invested that excess 1B - to IMPROVE QUALIY of transmission. You can have 100,000MW but if your network is rickety, is not redudant and collapse - it's useless.

1) Building a redundant transmission line - like Kenya - 250M dollars invested - to ensure most substation are connected to two sources - one goes down - another is brought in
https://www.esi-africa.com/regional-news/east-africa/kenya-power-introduce-redundant-network/
The redundant network can be explained as the alternative line of supply such that if one line goes off, power is automatically supplied by the other line hence the customer stays continuously connected. The system is reported to be used in advanced economies.

2) You invest in Live Maintenance - meaning line is repaired while it's powered on.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVDjMbPo5pA&t=325s
3) Invest in underground cabling of the main lines - to avoid weather related emergencies.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaYD9ILL-CI

4) Invest in proper infrastructure to support maintenance team - including helicopters.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmXSDnVAgpk&t=32s

Ghana's installed capacity is 5500MW and peak demand is 4000MW.

THAT is more than twice kenya demand....


We have proper infrastructure and that is why our grid can handle all the demand and generation we are adding....



All those things you posted are nothing compare to Ghana investment into the energy sector....

Our investment here are into the billions and not the few millions you guys can afford..


While you guys are now building transmission lines to connect the rest of your dark country to create a power pull with your neighbours,
Ours was built 50 years ago and its running perfectly as we continue to invest in modern technology.

And all those challenges have been solved

We will begin adding more generation capacity as more gas is coming onstream....

Ivory Coast just discovered 3 trillion scb reserves of gas and Ghana will be their major customer


Now tell us why kenyan consume less electricity than animals in Ghana

THE LATEST POWER SUPPLY CHALLENGES IN GHANA
By Ishmael Ackah

Power supply challenges (including instability, low voltage, and blackouts), known as ‘Dumsor’, have plagued Ghana for years, and remain significant concerns for both industrial and residential customers. In just the first half of 2021, multiple major outages have occurred (see Annex), caused by three main issues:

Tripped transmission lines. Transmission lines in Ghana are frequently overloaded, not well maintained, and non-redundant. In March 2021, a fault in a major line caused cascading failures that crashed the entire system for several hours.
Reduced water level at the Bui reservoir. Low water levels have taken the 400MW dam mostly offline, save for a few evening hours when demand is highest. This has degraded electricity quality and caused repeated outages in Kumasi.
Gas/Fuel-related outages. At least 9 major outages were related to inadequate fuel stock, gas pressure dips, or other interruptions in fuel supply.

rolling blackout is acceptable in Kenya because you guys have no money to solve it

This is so funny

see how small it is

68816419:
stop deceiving your self mazze, your government is actually building nothing, all those building are mostly owned by the private firms and they are there to maximize profits ,
lets take Kibera slums as a case study before heading to other slums, the blue and red circled figures are the "said" buildings been built by government since independent. can we equate that to progress?

rvp20182:
Stop lying; Dumsor is permanent feature of Ghana until you invest in many things - like live maintenance; redundant lines; undergrounds cabling
https://ghananewspage.com/ecg-announces-22-day-dumsor-schedule-for-accra-71-communities-to-be-affected/?utm_source=ReviveOldPost&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=ReviveOldPost

Dumsor ended a long time ago as all maintenance has been done

if you watched carefully, you would have realized that both figures are from 2 different years

Wuoche:
So it's back to 53M? It started from 55M, you reversed it 54M now it's 53M. I won't be surprised if you finally settle for 48M or 49M.

If Ghanaians want, they will buy your entire country and turn you lazy fools into farmers... but who wants a waste land anyway?

Have you wondered why nothing proper gets built on those lands?

rvp20182:
Probably NO Ghanaian can afford land in that picture - maybe you King . 1/4 of an acre is nearly 1 million dollars. 1 acre is 3 million dollars. That is South B, South C, Nairobi West and Industrial Area. After the stadium is upper hill...an acre there is 6-10m dollars.

Because they remain undeveloped compare to West African rural areas...

Mau Mau struggle is one of the last freedom struggles and not the among the first...

learn proper history

rvp20182:
Kikuyu homeland of central Kenya - Mau Mau road is being built along the smuggling routes used by Mau Mau freedom fighters - one of Africa first armed struggle against the colonialist - the British - that inspired like of ANC.

Mau Mau armed struggle against the British started in 1952...and ended in 1960s. Jomo Kenyatta the 1st kenya president was jailed for being a Mau Mau leader and released after 7yrs to become kenya first president

As you can see many kenya rural areas are NOT comparable to any in west africa

Tantrum from a kid that has been cornered

Shma2020:
When a zombie has been left with no option but to type anything to save his esteem.

Bifwoli:
Please just stfu coz both those scores are classified by UNDP as medium scores by UNDP (medium =0.550 to 0.699)

So you think you're smarter than learned professors at UNDP or what? Go back to your Agbogbloshie slum in Accra a.k.a Old Fadama and get some education.

the fact that it is medium does not mean both countries are at the same level...

That is why Ghana is ranked above kenya, sharing 138 with another country while Kenya is below...


UNDP people know it's not the same hence why they added ranks...

Dumb kid and a product of kenyan education...

Agbloboshie has been demolished and the huge land is being converted into a huge hospital with parks and gardens....

Go back to dandora to learn home sense

Funny enough, old fadama is better developed and the people live in quality houses than 70% of Nairobi residents living in abject slums or slumscrapers with no windows or lift.

Shma2020:
weeny countries tends to do well in HDI, the only zoo that is dragging them back is Ghana.

Here is the evidence

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_African_countries_by_Human_Development_Index
Ghana and Kenya are on the same level in middle category - don't forget that kenya is nearly twice Ghana population.

Point number 2, Ghana does not appear anywhere in top 20 on road quality index. Kenya is number 7.
Evidence on the screenshots below.

Point number 3, DON'T PEDDLE LIES! Ghana is a zoo with one small slum integrated town called accra. The second biggest city in your zoo looks more like kibera slums.

You're an old man, try at least to prove your rants with evidence .

you cant have quality roads when 93% of your country roads remain unpaved and compare yourself to a country where almost 50% of it roads are paved.

Secondly, My second biggest city is also bigger and better developed than Nairobi, which is your first.

Can you show us how 0.611 and 0.601 became equal?
Do you know the difference between 0.611 and 0.601?


So far, no one mentioned HDI until you brought it up zombie....


Only irrelevant backward countries like yours think HDI is not important by the way.

Those countries usually tend to be slumpolis where poverty is around 40% to 50% like kenya

Shma2020:
First, it's 'I' not 'i'.

Secondly, learn how to paragraph your work, if you don't know how then don't put those huge spaces in between your sentences.

Last but not least, all sentences should start with capital letters. For instance, in your statement, it should be "First... " and not "first.. ".

Lastly, learn how to use punctuation marks.

Zombie, you can actually do better in writing than a toddler.

boy, this is social media... an informal platform; I can write which ever way I want...

I guess you weren't taught that in kenya

Shma2020:
Nice, we should go together cos even you you need that class .

sorry kiddo, i already have that

first, join the KG kids and learn how to read and write

Shma2020:
All reputable sources ranks kenya ahead of Ghana, save HDI.

Even on HDI, Kenya still plays on the same level with your zoo even with her nearly 2 times Ghana population. That alone should tell you alot.

General infrastructural development sells itself, I don't need stats to know that Ghana plays catch up game with kampala Uganda. Nigerians have proven themselves with photos of massive rail lines infrastructures, stations, road infrastructure, buildings infrastructures etc just like Kenya. What does Ghana have to offer apart from football stadium and one Kumasi interchange?

All reputable links put Ghana ahead of your slumy country

In HDI, you are not on the same level with Ghana

Ghana has more roads and more quality reliable service provisions than kenya.

Ghana has more building infrastructure and an extensive rail infrastructure beyond that of Kenya, already constructed
Ghana has better hospitals, better school infrastructures and add the rest

Shma2020:
Lemme leave you with rvp to deal with each other on that .

Go take coding lessons, it will be of use to you soon.

Shma2020:
Unfortunately, Our infrastructure will take your city (which stands to be a town in Kenya) 30 yrs to hit the level of Nairobi 1980 in infrastructural development. I have evidence

Yet kenya is behind Ghana in infrastructure...

And when you pick infrastructure and break it down to it individual components, kenya is still behind in every single one of them..


I wonder sometimes how you guys live

Shma2020:
This is rvp's last statement on Internet penetration that made you vamoose through thin air for the sake of your own self esteem



How can you respond to this.?

I didn't need to because he show that he had no knowledge of what I was talking about and he just admitted that, above this post

rvp20182:
For me this how internet work. I guess internet for you is WWW. Some of us saw gopher protocols - way before internet (WWW). WWW aka internet is protocol designed by Sir Berne-lee at Cern. Cern is like 10kms from house.
https://www.esol.com/uploaded/product/TCPIP_Stack_E_3.png

As the end-user, this is all you may know because this is what transpires between your router and your device beyond which you know nothing

so I wasn't lying when I said you knew nothing about the internet and how packets are transmitted from one hub to another

Shma2020:
Says a hobbit from the 'short of development' zoo. Where dwarfism speaks louder than real infrastructure on ground.

tantrums from a kenyan zombie where infrastructure is none existent

rvp20182:
You think I would randomly name a country.

you just did

Shma2020:
But you ran away then come back with silly comparison of houses! should we give you guys chance to debate? cos what I know is that your brain can't stand rvp's even by half. You reason like a toddler.

I finished educating your bro
who ran away to go and learn more about IXP


Rvp needs proper education

rvp20182:
How internet works

You can thank me later for the education

Shma2020:
There is nothing to learn from Accra. One video will lay bare all the dwarf buildings and unpaved streets in that weeny slumbolish. Remember we long time concluded that Accra is a slum? There is a pile of shanties in every 1km you move and that is the reality of things.

Accra should first beat Abuja before thinking of competing Nairobi

Accra does not need to beat a slum like nairobi that is far below it....

Accra is a masterpiece

rvp20182:
You're in South Africa - a primary school teacher.

I wish I was

Since you are so interested in knowing where I am

Im on my way to Montevideo

Congrats, make use of this info

Lets see your next tantrum, loser

Shma2020:
Lie. You're a port guard. You make surveillance on those CCTv servers and we know that.

Rvp bombarded you with facts. It wasn't long enough until your puny brain started overheating and that is when you made a moonlight flit.

Rp does not know his ass from his head let alone have the intelligence to even be able to bombard someone like me who is a 1000% knowledgeable than he is ..


Your first sentence shows your intellect is below that of a KG kid

rvp20182:
Nobody count the roads off the main road - the estate roads. Look for Nairobi videos - there are many - show me untarred road - less than 10 percent if you exclude Nairobi National Park . I can help you with Nairobi borders.

Nice excuse for a loser
