kayperry: Well, we can have every state generating its power, but at the end, so long as tarrifs are kept below the cost of production, the power plants won't make enough profit to keep running. That's what the paper is essentially saying. And it is not that paper. There are articles that say the same thing all over the web. At the end, whether you like it or not, 24 hour power is something we pay for, not something we wish government finds imaginary money for. |

subsidywise18: Nigerians don’t care what needs to be paid so far they have value for their money There was an amount per unit in 2020 and it has doubled in 2022 heavens didn’t fall If there’s power readily available and they still triple it, people won’t mind paying and that power is one of the catalysts of a working economy So far they have no need to waste money on petrol or diesel and there’s no power grid collapse at the point of doing something really important, they will pay it. Let them generate and then watch if citizens will comply to new measures or not |

HeavenVGate: I doubt a 400k solar system can power all that, maybe u have to turn off some appliances to use others.. i have been using a 3kva inverter since 2009, I decided to connect solar panels to the batteries and to panel my house and the price they are calling is way above that 400k. at my workplace, we used over 6m to install it. I doubt 400k can do all that 2 Likes |

subsidywise18: Stop sounding like C O P is determine by stock market or int'l index, i know to a larger extent that "cost of productions" are regulated & responsive to NERC & govt policies which implies we are dealing with controllable factors, what we need is efficiency,transparency and coordination. Even if we sell nigeria to meet up with real cost of production, the glaring insincerity on paths of phcn/govt will still lead us to darkness. Are you even business oriented @ all, as an entrepreneur its on you to raise capital, afterall nobody force you and the standard of service rendered is what determine charges, you can't provide an average service and tell customer to subscribe premium that you will later use the income to upscale your service. haba maybe phcn should learn from likes of dstv & shoprite. if you invest enough you will earn more than enough 2 Likes |

subsidywise18: They are dancing around this basic fact. Energy does not come cheaply. I had this discussion with a neighbor of mine who was fuming at PHCN for billing him as much as they did. He refused to accept my point. Imagine paying 3k a month and you want uninterrupted power supply. Na jazz? 2 Likes 1 Share |

SirMichael1:I don't trust these guys! I read an article to that effect. Here: National Grid My Foot [b]We keep hearing that the national grid has collapsed! Nobody has asked how?? Ask them how, cos it is imperative to understand these people when they give excuses. How? In what way did it crash? Did the transmission infrastructure fail or did the distribution network and infrastructure collapse? They are liars! Do you know what really happened? They can no longer sustain their lies with N700 diesel. Instead of investing in proper power generating facilities and capacity, what most of the GenCos have been doing is to get by on what is called Peak Power diesel plants and now, apparently that plan has gone belly up! It has become unsustainable! I will explain. What has been sustaining Nigerian power supply for a few years now is mostly our hydroelectric plants and Turbine power station operations such as Egbin, Afam, Olorunsogo and Sapele power plants. Up until February, Egbin was contributing an average of 800MW to 900MW to the national grid. Egbon has an installed capacity of 1320MW. Sadly, there was a recent fire outbreak in Egbin. This happened this past February, after which Egbin lost about 630MW of its output and thus, its ability to contribute meaningfully to the national grid was greatly diminished. Other power plants could barely pick up the slack. Do you know why? Most of the nation's powerplants are either non-functional or only partially functional. Many Gencos are quack companies - they were sold to the politically connected, most of whom were inexperienced and greedy oligarchs, who are ever claiming subsidy and capacity which they do not have, cos they have not really invested. Power generation requires massive investment, after which the benefits and dividends could be sustained for many decades. They clearly do not care about investing, all they are interested in is the subventions and rents from FGN. What many of these GenCos have been doing is what is called Peak power contribution - these are essential massive diesel generators which are designed to contribute in times of high demand, to a more stable and constant base powerplant in a grid setup. In essence, a Genco should ideally have a base powerplant (could be Gas turbine or Coal) and then in addition to that, a peak power supplement. The peak power supplement would normally only be used when there is short-lived or sudden high demand. What happened to our Gencos is that most of our base power plants are not functional (this is why we keep hearing claims of generating capacity which is never realized or manifested in our total output or experience as consumers). Many of our Gencos contribute so little to the national base power pool that it is laughable! For that, they get to claim a status of being "partially functional". What these criminal Gencos have really been sustaining themselves with is the supplementary peak power contribution and thus, they have been almost entirely dependent on diesel. When diesel price went up astronomically, they went belly up! They can no longer sustain the cost of their deceitful and false existence. It explains why the industry has forever been complaining about not making profits. They have not invested in the proper infrastructure. This has made our electricity very expensive! This is in truth what caused the so-called "National grid to crash". Remember the statement that Nigeria economy is run on diesel? It has never been truer than it is now! And things are not going to get better soon - not until raining season. You all need to start praying for rain. My five cents. Copied[/b] 1 Like 1 Share |

From the standpoint of business continuity and disaster recovery it was a wrong design from the get go to have just one national grid. It makes no sense. If A doesn't have light then no one else should? How about A can have light even if B's grid is nonfunctional? Why do we say security is multi layered but with such critical infrastructure we allowed for a single point of failure? Is the failure to have electricity not a security issue as well as an economic issue? This national grid design is faulty from the get go. A point of failure anywhere shouldn't bring the entire country down |
