Siemens signs partnership for 1,600 MW power plant

Siemens has signed an agreement with Scanpow-er to construct a 1,600 MW gas turbine power station at Le-kki in Lagos State. The project is planned to boost power supply in Lagos and by extension, other parts of the nation. The agreement was a follow up to improved bilateral rela-tions between Nigeria and Ger-many in the past few months.For instance, during a visit to Germany, President Goodluck Jonathan and Minister of Power Professor Bart Nnaji as well as an attached high-ranking po-litical and industrial delegation from Nigeria, visited the Sie-mens gas turbine factory in Ber-lin on April 20, 2012. Consequently, an agreement was signed between the compa-ny and the Federal Ministry of Power to strengthen their strate-gic partnership. Under the terms of the agree-ment, Siemens will on a case-by-case basis consider to support the financing of power plant projects in Nigeria.

At the same time, Siemens announced plans to build up a new service work-shop for heavy duty gas turbines in the country and will support Nigeria with a study on the in-tegration of renewables in the country`s energy mix. Lagos, as one of the fastest growing megacities in the world, is seeking for a significant im-provement in its power supply.

“The decision of Scanpower and its joint venture partners to build, together with Siemens as technical partner, a modern and environmentally-friendly gas turbine power station, is an es-sential contribution to increase the power generation capacity and the security of power sup-ply under the framework of the privatisation of the energy sec-tor in Nigeria”, Michael Suess, CEO of the Siemens’s energy sector and member of the man-aging board of Siemens said.

Siemens has already deliv-ered gas turbines for the power stations Afam V and Geregu I, which ranks among the most reliable and available plants in Nigeria.

Geregu Phase II is cur-rently under construction and is expected to deliver electricity to the grid before the end of the year.

These power plants, with a total capacity of 1,200 MW, were built by Siemens on EPC turn-key basis. According to estimates, the available capacity for electric-ity generation in Nigeria has to be increased from 4,000 MW to 40,000 MW by 2020 to meet the current demand and support Ni-geria’s rapid growth.

Kobojunkie: Western Media gave em what now? What?? WHAT ?

Kamsy10: why is it to so hard for the world powers to intervene and divide this sinking country called NIGERIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS LONG OVERDUE

Why wait for "world powers"?

The Spanish Government hurriedly blamed ETA for the Madrid bombings. Police evidence later showed that Al-Qaeda were responsible. This led to the fall of the spanish government.

The American media suspected that Islamic militants were responsible for the Oklahoma bombing, but FBI investigations showed that Timothy Mcveigh was responsible.

Some groups might claim responsibility, just to boost their profile, but the police must be led by evidence.

By the way, he didn't "exonerate" Boko Haram (I.e he didn't free them from blame), he just said that the perpetrators are currently unknown.

He is right. Anybody can claim responsibility for anything, but the police must be led by evidence and result of investigations. He is also right in refusing to glorify Boko Haram.

bestads: When i realised and discovered that ISLAM is a religion of PEACE so i became a moslem, i will ask the admin to delete my former threads against islam

Reminds me of those RRS (motorcycle) policemen (robocop) in Lagos.

1) Have you read section 298 of the constitution?

2) I wonder why you want to run away from a problem rather than solve the problem.

3) Don't you think your suggestion will lead to waste of money and corruption?

Another Bomb Blast In Kaduna

The latest explosion in Kaduna is the third in a series of bomb blasts that has rocked the nation.

This explosion happened in Ungwan Muazu, near the location where a suicide bomber died while trying to plant a bomb a few weeks ago.

In an earlier explsion, at least 10 people were reportedly killed in Kaduna, where a suicide bomber detonated a massive bomb he had dropped off near the office of ThisDay newspaper on Kano road, in the proximity of Ahmadu Bello Way.

At the ThisDay office in Abuja, a suicide bomber drove a car through the gates of the newspaper's warehouse. Allegedly, buildings over 1 kilometer away shook from the resulting explosion.

President Goodluck Jonathan,  who is in Cote D'Ivoire for an Extra-Ordinary Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), condemned the attacks on ThisDay offices.

He was elected by the party @ the party primaries. Unfortunately there was no provision for independent candidates in the Nigerian constitution at that time.

Usually, a political party produces a manifesto, based on its ideology. The public scrutinise both the candidate and manifesto and vote for the candidate/manifesto/policy of their choice.

This is why I can't understand those who say they voted for Goodluck Jonathan and not for PDP.

bashr8: rubbish , its time these dumb southeast governors build that bridge themselves, they are showing us video plan while states like rivers, akwaibom and even lagos are mounting up bridges here and there.

Indeed! The governors could even get an investor to build the bridge and erect tolls. They'd make their money back in no time. Anyone who doesn't want to pay the toll can use the old Niger Bridge.

This makes so much sense and it's sad to see several administrations promise this then fail to deliver.

Imagine a high speed rail link between Lagos and Enugu that'll also have stops in Benin, Asaba, Onitsha, etc.

GAR3TH: Nice pictures Naptu2, thanks.

I added some of your photos here

Cool.

The bridge lands at Admiralty Road (on the Lekki side). I wondered how they'll manage traffic at the junction between the bridge and Admiralty Road. They created a roundabout (traffic circle) so that traffic from the bridge can easily merge with traffic from Admiralty Road.

jason123: Naptu2, from what I can see, the bridge is about 95% complete (including the street lamp). Do you support this assertion? Once again, thanks for the update!

I agree. In fact I think, in the past few weeks, they paid more attention to completing the roundabout on Admiralty Road than they did to completing the bridge.

I think the bridge will be commissioned pretty soon (if everything goes well).

I took some pics of the bridge yesterday afternoon. This time I took pics that captured the height of the suspension column, the length of the bridge, the street lights and, a month ago, I took pics of the bridge from the Ikoyi end.

I pray everyday that the ferry and rail services should commence before Fashola leaves office. The Lekki Expressway and Lekki Ikoyi link bridge projects are almost complete.
