Caanaland and Redemption camp are not generating for profit and both are turbine-powered, go and verify. Geometric power is generating power for profit purpose, that's the difference. many industrial clusters are on IPP too, small boy.

The guy no know say many IPP dey Naija wella, even for all those Agbada them dey wella.

proeast:


Lol, Canaan land generating 15mw or redemption camp generating 10mw for themselves can’t be compared with what Geometric is doing in Aba. Using big generators to power a neighborhood is different. How sustainable and cheap is that in the long run? How impactful is that to the GDP? Mind you, Ariaria already has similar dedicated power plant that has been running since but it would be stupid to compare its effect or significance to Geometric.

If you think raising close to $1 billion USD & the local expertise to go with it in building such project is easy, then what stops your states from replicating Geometric?


Spit!

Your ignorance is quite disturbing. You compare a few megawatts generated by churches using big generating sets to a huge power plant like Geometric?

Geometric is going to power an entire city complete with modern transmission lines and metering. Thousands of small scale businesses and artisans are going to work efficiently and optimally. Medium and big industries will focus on production without bothering about energy supply. Yet this ignorant boy is here comparing Geometric with mushroom ones built by churches to serve a few houses and their crusade grounds? What is the impact of those religious activities to the economy or GDP?

Dumbos with primitive mentality.

LegendHero:
Na only for Nairaland we dey hear 24/7 power in Abia.

All people living in Abia are saying there is no 24/7 light in Abia anywhere. Infact them dey para for Twitter say they are deceived.

But seems some people said Geometric never power everything say them dey await gas or something.

It seems people on line 33kva are the one with 24/7 and I know other states also enjoy constant light for people on that line.

The schedule is three weeks after commissioning. Be informed

Putindbutt:
This one is smoking Aba weed, electricity has been decentralised, each state will soon begin to generate its own power, what's the big deal in Aba with that small 188MW?. Even now, some industrial clusters have IPP that provides them with electricity.

You clearly don't understand the Aba ring fence, the only one in Nigeria at the moment

Putindbutt:

None of the turbine has been turned on yet, still waiting for gas and money for the gas supply is heavy hence the delay. Besides, the 188MW is only serving 7 LGs and will start with 14hrs light. this guy wants every companies to come and sit down with 188MW, how many can that serve?

He will be starting with one turbine that generates 42 megawats. This is already greater than the 25mw they get from the national grid. At full capacity of 188 they will be having surplus because the electricity need is 100mw at the moment

LegendHero:


Yea 188MW small somwhow to service massive industries but if he can at least service residential areas with 24/7, it’ll be nice.

But the problem he might have is people paying for the actual light because without subsidy, only few can afford paying for the 24/7 especially considering the fact that Abia people purchasing power go low small compared to other major cities.

But let’s see. I pray it work fine coz if people are being taken away from the national grid, it’ll be beneficial for Nigeria on the long run.

Aba has higher GDP per Capita than Lagos. The level of ignorance from your people is very funny. Note that world bank president personal approved this project after visiting Aba for feasibility studies. Aba purchasing power and disposable income is huge. 188 for 9 LGAs is very huge by Nigerian standards for now. Of course geometric will expand, but for now the 188 will have excess to be sold to National grid

LegendHero:


We are saying the same thing. What I’m just saying is that people running the propaganda that they started enjoying 24/7 already should mellow coz reality currently is very different.

Let’s see how it goes in the coming month when he would have gathered everything necessary to deliver at capacity of at least 80%.

It's not propaganda. Aba was already improving after Nnaji settled Emeka Offor and started his own distribution company within the Aba ring fence. However, the improvement is not yet widespread though since he is restricted to the little he gets from the national grid. When one turbine goes on in few weeks, more people will feel it

proeast:


Ignorance is a disease. 188MW is small for a single city Yet Nigeria with so many cities, hundreds of towns & thousands of villages is still struggling with 3000MW? When you remove the MW given to airports & some others to Niger & Benin, how many is left to share among 200 million people??

Yet you think a single city having 188mw to itself alone is not significant enough?


Haters and bigots will never have peace.

I wonder the so called education these people parade. 188 mw for 9 LGA is definitely à huge one by today's Nigeria standards

stonemasonn:
Is land available(in acres)?

I co ask this question

Putindbutt:

His headline is funny to me, maybe he doesn't know we're talking about 188MW, and he's saying every manufacturer should relocate there, that small power will collapse. Since FG has since electricity bill into law, i expect more investors to set up power plants in any state of interest pretty soon.

You expect? Okay. We already moved 20 years ahead. Extracting the agreement from FG when it was not yet a general law. You can crawl behind

Putindbutt:

Canaan land Ota generates 15MW for itself, Redemption camp generates 10MW, no be say Aba is the first to do this na, why the noise?. With the new electricity bill, your community, my community can even generate their own electricity themselves, go and read the bill.

Glorified generators. We are talking about citywide power plant with its own DISCO.
You are talking about generators that do changeover when NEPA take light

Putindbutt:

There's no excess anywhere, all the capacity is 188MW. Guy stop lying.

Aba is estimated to have close to 100mw electricity needs as at now. That means excess 88 megawats to sold to National grid

TopBanter:


Best Post here and I was about to say the same thing till I saw your post.

In fact relatively rich and progressive regions, eg the SW, can even fund PPP power solution to provide constant energy throughout a region.

So may possibility and so many singular rich State, or States combining wealth and resources, can and will source their own solution now they have the constitutional authorisation to address their own power needs.

Yet we know some.people are prone to.messianic over-celebrstion of anything and everything they are affiliated with. Just plain silly to be honest.

Just look at the disturbing abnormality shown below in a single post by OP that confirms these guys are very insecure people who overcompensate by seeing themselves and all things they are affiliated with as superior. Cringeworthy and disturbing.

I just de laugh your people. South South can't even managed the pH distribution company but EEDC is making huge profits next after Lagos. The east don't really fancy this "rich state" mentality because it impoverish the masses

Gosh, you guys should stop being insecure. A post advertising Aba without mentioning them yet they’re all over the place showing their insecurity.

Thank you for educating the dunce. Those guys should cross check the quality of education in that region

Ooh it's not a big deal? So what is stopping Sound, Oyo, Ekiti, Ogun and kwara from getting theirs, ooh sorry I forgot Kwara has being snatched from you people..eehe, what is stopping your primitive enclaves from bulding even just 59mw of a generating station..envious souls.

Lol, don’t mind them, it’s always the usual suspects. Anything that indicates progress for the East or Igbo people always have them foaming in the mouth. It’s really pathetic how we pretend to be one country yet certain sections of the country would rather see Ghana or Togo develop than another section of their country.

Pathetic losers!

Those weaklings Don know what awaits them in the near future. The competitive prowess of igbos can't be caged with politics. They were busy using short cut, tapping from gas's pipeline from escravos to Ogun, while we extracted this Aba ring fence agreement. Both happened under Obasanjo regime. Aba planned for the future and they lacked foresight to take such audacious route

Lol, ontop 188MW for only 7 LG. I told you Caanaland is turbine powered. If these churhes need, they'd have got lincense & generate more to sell to various communities. There are industrial clusters with IPP. There's nothing special in Geometric, people have been generating power before you.

Precisely. IPPs are virtually as old as our current democracy which began in 1999. Nothing new or innovative about them regardless of the core technology involved. The purpose is same i.e provide power generated independently of the Nigerian grid.

Yet trust the insecure people, who would even describe their poop as beautiful, to be making noise over what is now a model that will be obsolete soon.

The FG, under Buhari, enacted the electricity and railway Acts of 2023 that gully decentralised the operation of power and rail in Nigeria.

With that development, small IPPs are nothing to deploy or celebrate today, for 'up to speed'and informed folks, because they were for an era when States, industrial zones, extensive government administrative area (like Alausa) and even upscale residential estates sought to escape the inefficiency of the central power generation, transmission and distribution solution previously domiciled under the FG.

These people are simply insecure and suffering from inferiority complex thus prone to over-hyping even the most mundane development they are affiliated with.

Below is what the SW is now targeting after the 2023 full rail and power deregulation law was ratified by the Buhari government.

Too many people, because they know Nigerians never read, use grey areas to decieve and deliberately misinform Nigeria for their own ulterior motives.

Why would sensible folks be manufacturing 7 litre V8 vehicle when all is now in place to allow them utilise the option of producing self-charging electric vehicles instead?

Discrete IPP models are obsolete. I expect to see even middle income States innovatively using different financing options to deliver what the SW is chasing below at State or regional level.
