Contrary to the expectations of Nigerians that they would soon have improved electricity supply of 6,000 megawatts in the country, which was the target for 2016 set by the federal government earlier in the year, operators in the sector have confirmed that the country cannot achieve this target due to issues of gas shortage, debts and transmission challenges confronting the power companies.

LEADERSHIP learnt that electricity generation crashed to 3,050.20MW last weekend. An official of the Nigerian Electricity System Operator of Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) disclosed that electricity generation had been dwindling due to challenges of accessing gas by generation companies.

Also, the executive secretary, Association of Power Generation Companies, Joy Ogaji, said debts owed them, which stood at more than N400 billion, was one of the major reasons for the poor power supply in the country.

In an interview with LEADERSHIP recently, the managing director, Mainstream Energy Solutions Ltd, Engr Lamu Audu, the concessionaire of Kainji and Jebba Hydro Power Plants, said that, if put together, the available installed capacity of all the generating plants in Nigeria may reach the 6,000MW target, but the fact that some power plants cannot run due to lack of gas while some have the gas but cannot transmit into the grid because of transmission problems make it unlikely that they would achieve the 6,000MW target by the end of the year .

‘‘There are so many issues at getting that availability on the grid; it’s not just getting the generators in place,’’ he said.

Just last week, the power generation companies and distribution companies (GENCOs and DISCOs) said they recorded a shortfall of N809.8 billion as at November, due to the scarcity of foreign exchange.

Foreign exchange has been identified as a critical challenge to operators who are hamstrung in replacing ageing equipment. Operators have also blamed some of its woes on inconsistency and ineptitude on the part of the Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), as they seek federal government’s intervention toward finding a lasting solution to the problem of shortfalls in the sector.

They said that selling gas for local consumption in local currency; providing security against Forex fluctuation; re-engineering the DISCos’ balance sheet and making it bankable and having an effective tariff mechanism, among others, are the options left to save the country from being plunged into total darkness.

Since the privatisation of the sector, the 11 DISCOs said they had been running at a loss of not less than N10/KW of energy arising from the numerous problems affecting the industry.

The operators insist that much needs to be done in terms of regulation and unfavourable policies, noting that the industry lost N12.8 billion to the one-month delay in the take-off of the current tariff regime, which became effective in February 2016 instead of January, after being conceived in December 2015.

For the DISCOs, the major cause of the crisis is the persistent increase in the exchange rate after the December 2015 rate of N197 to $1.

Also, the GENCOs are made to buy gas from the suppliers in US dollars, tender their invoices to the DISCOs to pay at the prevailing value of Forex and charge their tariffs based on the fixed exchange rate, thus leading to the shortfall.

By June 2015, the exchange rate had gone up to N293 to $1, and now to about N360 at the official rate, meaning that the Forex value had doubled such that the same quantum of energy bought from the GENCOs at N10.50 now goes for about N18, while the DISCOs cannot reflect this in the tariff for the end users to pay.

The operators further contend that if they should pay at the fixed rate of N197 to $1, they will still have a shortfall.

Experts said that though the privatised electricity firms may have been freed of the state bureaucracy that previously hampered their operations, these utilities still encounter myriad if structural problems that continue to hamper the growth of the power sector.

They identified some of these to include shortage of gas for thermal stations, high level of unpaid electricity bills and outdated and poorly maintained transmission network, which government still owns but put under private management since 2012.

Many of the new power operators have struggled to make progress, especially as they have had to contend with ageing facilities requiring substantial amounts of investments to upgrade and expand.

With a total installed capacity of 8,457.6 MW (81 percent of total) in early 2014, thermal plants (gas-fired plants) dominated the Nigerian power supply mix. The rest of the country’s capacity is in the form of hydropower plants.

On face value, thermal capacity alone is nearly double of Nigeria’s recorded peak generation (4600 MW in 2014). Pipelines, the veins of gas-powered generation, had been consistently vandalised.

The minister of power recently put the cost of the vandalised Escravos-Lagos pipeline per day across the entire power sector supply chain to N470 million.

Nigeria, known to be ninth most proven gas reserve entity in the world, is unable to provide gas needed for its thermal plants.

With this scenario, the quantity of electricity that can be generated at any point in time is not determined by installed capacity but, rather, by the total available capacity.

The available capacity is the percentage of the total capacity that is not prevented from working, through planned/unplanned outages and/or lack of required fuels. Experts, however, welcomed federal government’s decision to pay legacy debts totalling N213 billion in 2014 as part of the process of boosting gas supply to the power sector.

CEO of Eko DISCO, Mr. Oladele Amoda, while reacting to gas supply constraint in the sector, said the company currently receives only 200MW from the national grid instead of 1,300MW which, he said, is not enough to sustain supply stability across its network.

Amoda also disclosed that the company is spending N700 million to replace 138 transformers in order to boost supply within the festive period.

The non-availability of gas supply to the 10 plants under the National Independent Power Projects (NIPP) is said to be responsible for their failure to generate 4,541MW of power expected of them to feed the national grid.

However, an official with the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPC) told LEADERSHIP that the country was close to achieving stable gas supply to the power stations. The official, who would not want to be named, said some of its plants had started receiving supply, though still not enough to boost power generation as envisaged by government.

Aside generation, the country is battling with issues around the technicalities of power transmission.

Transmission is the transportation of the power from the generation plants to the distribution companies, which then take it to the homes, offices, factories, etc., and this work is done by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) which was not privatised.

Today, it can only transport 5,000 MW.

The power minister, Babatunde Fashola, who revealed the low wheeling capability of the company, said about 907 containers of various equipment imported in the ports, and paid for, had been abandoned, having accumulated demurrage, port charges and all sorts of costs, by contractors who had deserted their contracts.

He, however, disclosed that approvals had been given by President Buhari for their release.

The containers, expectedly, contain all sorts of equipment which, when recovered, will hopefully help to solve some of the nation’s transmission problems.

The Senate Committee on Power, Steel Development and Metallurgy has expressed disappointment that electricity Distribution Companies which took over from the Power Holding Company are performing worse than their predecessors.

The Committee chairman, Senator Eyinnaya Abaribe, who led members of the committee on oversight function to Electricity companies in Kaduna said this, in Abuja, on Sunday.

He explained that the performance of the DISCOS today is worse than that of the defunct state-owned National Electric Power Authority which preceded PHCN in terms of revenue collection.

Abaribe, who earlier spoke at the premises of the Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company in Kaduna, declared that the committee was unimpressed with the discovery that DISCOS are recording less than 20 percent of the revenues previously collected by the defunct PHCN.

The committee chairman said, “Returns on collection has reduced but the essence of privatisation is to ensure efficiency.

“Now, you are doing less than 20 percent of the previous capacity. We were looking at better collection and better efficiency from you with Privatisation but what we are having is less than 80 percent of what we had.”

Abaribe equally expressed displeasure over the continued reliance on imported electricity meters by the DISCOS at a time when local producers are complaining of low patronage and the nation’s economy is facing a lot of problems due to the shortage of foreign exchange.

Abaribe said, “We have seen that a lot of DISCOS are not doing business with Nigerian manufacturers (of meters) and these companies come to us.

“We talk about capacity but they must have orders fist before they produce. You must look at this area.”

Assistant General Manager, Customer Services Standards of the Nigerian Electricity Distribution Company, Dr. Shittu Shaibu, who also participated in the visit also indicted the DISCOS for failing to meet the performance agreements signed with government.

He said that none of the DISCOS in the country has met up to 20 percent of the metering plans.

Another member of the committee, Suleiman Hunkuyi said discoveries made by the Committee in Kaduna reflected what obtains within the industry in the country. He said Committee would take its time to analyse the challenges and encourage NERC to impose sanctions where necessary.

THE 3247.4 megawatts (MW) of electricity generated on Saturday, yesterday crashed to 3,050.20MW, thereby increasing the woes of the citizenry who have been longing for an improved power supply.
According to the Nigerian Electricity System Operator of Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, the highest system frequency recorded on the day under review was 51.52Hz, while the lowest frequency was 47.14Hz, TCN said. The peak generation ever attained remained 5,074MW. An official of TCN, who preferred anonymity, said electricity generation had been dwindling due to challenges of accessing gas by generation companies. Meanwhile, the Executive Secretary, Association of Power Generation Companies, Joy Ogaji, has linked power challenges to market debts owed them, which stood at over N400 billion. Her words: “The situation in power generation is very obvious and clear. The fact still remains that we at the generation end of the value chain are quite handicapped at the moment, with the logs of market debts owed us which has risen to over 400 billion naira.

The Supreme Court on Friday stripped Governors of the power to sack local government chairmen. It described it as “executive recklessness” to rampantly dissolve democratically-elected local government councils in their states and replacing them with caretaker committees.

The apex court ruled that the provisions of the laws enacted by the states’ Houses of Assembly empowering governors to carry out such dissolution and replace them with caretaker committees was null and void.

This was the decision reached by a five-man panel of the apex court led by Justice Olabode Rhodes-Vivour on Friday.

The appeal in which the Supreme Court made the pronouncements arose from the dissolution of 16 local government councils in Ekiti State by the then Governor Kayode Fayemi.

Fayemi, who is now the Minister of Mineral Resources, was said to have announced the dissolution of the councils in a radio announcement on October 29, 2010, when the chairmen still had up till December 19, 2011, to complete their three-year tenure.

The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has fined the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) N47. 67 million for allegedly refusing to submit its audited reports.

The utility was accused of not submitting its 2013 and 2014 audited financial statements thus violating Section 63 (1) of the Electric Power Sector Reform Act, 2005.

In a letter signed by the Acting Chairman of NERC, Dr. Anthony Akah, and General Manager, Legal, Licensing and Enesterday, TCN was given two weeks to pay the fine.
The fine attracts five per cent interest daily after the due date, the commission said in Abuja.In a summary of findings on the grounds of infractions, NERC said it reminded TCN of its obligations to submit audited financial accounting statements for years 2013 and 2014 in several correspondences with the corporation but failed to get satisfactory answers.

Head, Public Affairs Department at NERC, Dr. Usman Abba Arabi, said TCN was found to have persistently refused or neglected to comply with the commission’s written requests.

Meanwhile, the Director-General, National Power Training Institute of Nigeria (NAPTIN), Abuja, Reuben Okeke, said yesterday that the country has about 22 million unregistered electricity consumer, meaning a huge revenue loss for the country.

Citing a document released from the Bureau of Statisticleased from the Bureau of Statistics, he explained that out of the 28 million households in the country, 5. 2 million were registered electricity consumers while 22.8 million remained unregistered, thereby causing a great loss of revenue.

Okeke spoke as guest lecturer at the Professor Barth O. Nnaji biennial lecture series with the theme, “Science and Technology Challenges in a Depressed Economy,” at the Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT), Agbani.

He said: “The implication is apt and clear such that people should understand it. If you have not registered somebody in your billing system, you cannot collect money from that person.

“First is that any unregistered electricity consumer that has not been registered in the billing system will not be getting bill to make payments and that is a great loss to the utility. From what you have seen there, out of 28 million households in Nigeria, as published by bureau of statistics, we have about 5, 200 million households that are in the grid network from which money is made to sustain the power generation.”

Nigeria’s foremost power generation company, Egbin Power PLC (“Egbin”), Wednesday released its maiden sustainability report which signposts its commitment to operating in tandem with global best practice whilst enhancing power generation to boost access to affordable, reliable and sustained energy in Nigeria. The report entitled ‘Building a sustainable future’ is the first of its kind in Nigeria’s power sector. It highlights Egbin’s current status since its privatization in 2013; its values and governance model; alignment of the company’s strategy with its commitment to a sustainable global economy; socio-economic and environmental impact of its activities and the roadmap for future plans.
Speaking on the report, Egbin’s Chairman, Mr. Kola Adesina said: “We are delighted to unveil Egbin’s maiden sustainability report as it reinforces our resolve to ensure sustainable growth for the company having achieved major milestones since the new management took over on November 1, 2013. Egbin remains committed to working with all stakeholders as we seek to establish Egbin as a foremost industrial hub for economic growth and development.”
Sahara Group, working through a special purpose vehicle in collaboration with Korea Electric Corporation (KEPCO) acquired majority shareholding to complete Egbin’s privatization in 2013. Following its privatization, generation capacity in Egbin grew from an average of 400MW to hit 1100MW in 2015 for the first time since its inception; with the company already planning to double the plant’s capacity by 2020. Adesina noted that whilst the report covers the period from January 1 to December 31, 2015, references are made to activities from the point of takeover of the plant in 2013. “It’s a celebration of our success and recognition of areas where we could have performed better. In addition to reiterating our continuing quest for sustained outstanding performance, it also demonstrates our commitment to transparency and best practice for the benefit of all our stakeholders.” Egbin’s sustainability report was developed using the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) framework and provides a metric for measuring the company’s financial and non-financial performance. The report employs the GRI G4 “In Accordance” Option of the Sustainability Reporting Guidelines and the supplement dedicated to the Electric Utilities sector issued in 2013. The report includes disclosures on key indicators in areas material to Egbin’s stakeholders including the level and capacity of energy generation, economic performance, workforce diversity, safety report, conservation and biodiversity management as well as strategies targeted at improving performance in these areas. Adesina said the management of Egbin is hopeful that sustainability reporting in the power sector would help ensure that the interests of all stakeholders are taken into account across all points of the sector’s value chain. “We intend to make this an annual publication and hope it will inspire other operators in the sector to follow suit. We believe Egbin has once again raised the performance bar in the sector as we work towards using the principles of sustainability to achieve our goal of optimising our generation capacity through quality human capital, continuing investments, consideration for socio-economic and environmental issues and strategic alliances that will open new frontiers for Egbin across Africa,” he stated. The intended audiences for the report include Egbin’s shareholders, customers, employees, suppliers and other third party business partners, government and regulatory organizations, local and foreign institutional investors, international agencies and the general public. These stakeholders are directly and indirectly impacted by the activities of the organization.

Nine of the nation’s 26 power plants did not generate any megawatts of electricity on Wednesday, coupled with significant reduction in the generation from two of the hydropower plants and several others.

The Shiroro Power Station in Niger State and Jebba Power Station in Kwara State saw their output fall to 300MW and 381MW, respectively, down from 450MW and 476MW on Friday, according to industry data obtained by our correspondent.

Unit 411G3 of Shiroro was out for water management, while 411G4 was out on maintenance.

Jebba’s unit 2G4 was also out for water management and 2G6 due to burnt generator winding and automatic voltage regulator.

Generation from Egbin, which is located in Lagos, with an installed capacity of 1,320MW, was said to have been limited to 160MW as of 6am on Wednesday, largely due to gas supply shortages, compared to the 172MW recorded on Tuesday, November 29.

The nation recorded another total system collapse on Sunday, December 4, the second in less than two weeks. The national grid had collapsed on November 24, the data showed.

The total national power generation fell to 3,251MW as of 6am on Wednesday, down from 3,574.2MW on Monday, November 28.

The power plants that were idle included Olorunsogo II in Ogun State and Ibom Power in Cross River.

Other plants, which did not generate any megawatt of electricity, were Afam IV & V, Odukpani NIPP, Trans-Amadi, AES, ASCO and Gbarain.

Olorunsogo’s units GT1, 2, 3, 4 and ST2 were said to be out due to gas constraints, while ST1 was out on maintenance.

The GT1 unit of Ibom Power was out on guide vane problem, while GT2 and 3 were out due to maintenance of the gas station for 45 days since October 21.

Twelve units of Afam IV & V were said to have been de-commissioned and scrapped; units GT13, 14, 15 and 16 were out on blade failure; GT17 and 18 were out due to burnt generator transformer; while GT19 and 20 were awaiting major overhaul.

Odukpani’s GT1 was shut down due to low excitation; GT2 out on maintenance; GT3 tripped on fire alarm; GT4 out due to unit transformer problem; and GT5 out due to gas constraints.

Trans-Amadi’s GT1, 2 and 4 were out due to gas constraints and GT3 out on fault, according to the data.

The AES was said to be out of production; ASCO’s GT1 was shut down due to leakage in the furnace; and Gbarain’s GT2 was out due to gas constraints.
