Where Lagos want see money build 1 GW of power plant? Lagos needs 10 GW to be fully powered and going the Aba Geometric project costs as a benchmark, it'll cost around $80 billion to build that kind of power plant.

$80 billion is around #100 trillion and Lagos is not even a #50 trillion economy.

Again, where Lagos want see gas that can power 10 GW gas plants?

Seyi propaganda machine

The purported IPP consists of generating set that will be powered by gas and some solar system

Those containers house a generating set

This thing never start today but have taken Seyi many years still uncompleted

It's for the use of state secretariat and few states facilities but not for entire state facilities not to talk of serving people or oyo state households

Stop celebrating nonsense

ALEX OTTI IS LESS THAN 1YRS IN OFFICE BUT PERFORMING VERY WELL THAN YOUR OVERHYPED SEYI MAKINDE

press9jatv:
nope. The IPP will serve the energy needs of various infrastructural facilities in Oyo State, which include but will not be limited to:
The State Secretariat and Government facilities within
12 healthcare facilities, including the Adeoyo Maternity Teaching Hospital and the State Hospital Ring Road
The Lekan Salami Sports Complex, Adamasingba
The judicial complexes at Iyaganku and Ring Road
The Oyo State House of Assembly
A selection of schools within a defined catchment from the generation plant at the State Secretariat

IPP or solar farm?

But why can't Nigeria manufacture things like solar panels? Nigerian education is a total mess. All talk, nothing to show for it.



Honestly, no! During my curious age, I wanted producing solar panels. After using Fx series of casio calculator, I removed the solar panel to check the secret. I made real research.....

That was when I learnt of stuff like photosensitive materials, electron jump, silicon cell etc.

At such a tender age, I only knew how to improvise to set up all those components. I was haunted by my dad who never wanted to see me "play" but study, my limited knowledge of where to get those materials, my symbian phone which will always reference everything to US and UK.

After years of unsuccessful attempts, I landed in the university and the haunting continued, even worst.

It was an abandoned dream and abandoned hope.
Nevertheless, I was able to produce speakers from scratch. Achieved just by wounding coils around magnetic field and using silver film to reflect the sound.

I failed in:
Solar panels
Generating electricity with motors without battery
Electronic bell
Transistor radio.

In summary, Nigerian education is trash, it buries your aspirations. I later picked Civil Engineering in the University and it's still trash. I can only attribute 95% of the real world knowledge I have now to my Catholic secondary school.

Power is different from Energy.. don't confuse 10KW and 10kWH..

1KW for 24Hours is 24KWH..

1MW can power 1000 homes without issues.. and total energy will be 24MWH over a 24hour period.

Without ACs.. average load in many homes is less than 1KW... 1000KW makes 1MW..

PHAYOL81:


You guys just create tension without general knowledge of the argument. If it cost 80 bullion dollars to generate just a gigawatt, how much then would samsung spend for the generation of approximately 17 gigawatts they planned to provide for the country by 2035 or thereabout？

PHAYOL81:

Do you mean SAMSUNG is investing $1.3trillion？ How would we pay back？ Does SAMSUNG as a company worth 2 trillion dols？Is GERMANY economy, of which SAMSUNG is a contributor, a 3 trillion economy？
Away from SAMSUNG around $4b investment in Nigerians' power sector now, plentiful research of recent investment in power generation across Africa and Asia call you a liar too.

PHAYOL81:


Worthy of note should initially be the fact that cost of generating similar number of megawatts of power varies according to types of energy source and the terrain. And if we have to consider multiple informations from all sources attached herein, it's safe to conclude that Lagos may not have to spend up to $10billion to build as much as a gigawatt of power plant.

It may end up not costing more than 5 billion dols.

PHAYOL81:


In order not to crumble under the challenges of funding, the state can split the construction into phases （between 4 or 5 phases of either 250MW or 200MW respectively）under a PPP programmed that could be spread across a decade benchmark. That way, it becomes easier so much so that by the time the second phase is completed and distributing, the concession firm should be able to start and build other two phases with revenue generated off the initially built two phases.

PHAYOL81:

To conclude, the ABIA geometric power plant don't cost a billion, let alone the $14b or thereabout your calculation puts it. At worst, put in all hike （dollars）and inflation, the 188MW plant wouldn't have gulped a dime above $500millions. And this is me being generous. Do a thorough findings on it and clear your misconception.

To find out how many homes a power plant can power, we need to first convert the power capacity of the plant (in this case, 11MW) into kilowatts (kW), since usage is always measured in kWh (kilowatt-hours) per day.

1 MW = 1000 kW

So, 11 MW = 11,000 kW

Now, if each home needs average of 10,000 watts (10KW) an hour to power its domestic appliances per day, then the energy needs of each home per day is 10 kWh.

So, the number of homes that an 11 MW power plant can power per day is according to formula below:

Power plant capacity (kW) DIVIDED BY Energy usage per home per day (kWh)


Which is = 11,000 kW DIVIDED BY 10 kWh/day

Which is = 1100 homes

So, the 11 MW power plant can power approximately 1100 homes, assuming each home uses 10 kWh per day which is very likely in most (4 bedroom/4 or 5 family members) middle class Nigerian households with 2 or 3 ACs, 1 or 2 flat screen TVs, 1 audio system, 1 refrigerator and 1 deep freezer, approx 16 interior and exterior light bulbs, approx 4 ceiling fans, 1 clothes iron and 1 portable washing machine.

foodlum:


I MW can power 750-1,000 homes.

That means 11 MW can power up to 10,000 homes.

You wrong sir. I MW can only power up to 100 homes consuming 10 KWH each per day.
11 MW can only power 1100 homes consuming 10 KWH per day.

Dwightventures:


Do you know what 1MW is?

Morphinne:

Why not tackle his submission with something reasonable to at least prove that you’re not a nuisance?
He made some really valid points and I like the fact that he made it clear that both prof Nnaji and the Abia state Governments did really good job. Mind you, I said Governments because every member of Peter Obi’s horde of lunatics is hellbent on claiming that it’s Otti that did the project within 9 months of assuming power when the obvious truth is that the project started more than 10 years ago under various governments of the state ( 2 successive governments)
His major concern is that the amount quoted for the project (800 Million usd) is too much and that folks like you would have condemned it if it was the Federal government that claimed to have built a 188 Megawatt plant for $800 for just 9 LGA out of the 700 plus LGAs we have in the country.
Stop seeing every criticism as an attack on your tribe. I’m Yoruba but still not impressed by this meager 11megawatt being celebrated by the Oyo state government and I’m sure I would be ‘shocker’ by the time they announce to the public the amount of money the’ve expended on the project so far

OfficialAPCNig:

You are too optimistic.

Let me ask, have you ever wondered why Geometric had to build entirely new transmission infrastructure instead of using existing TCN transmission lines? Nigeria has an installed capacity of over 1.3 GW, yet the highest we have ever sent to the national grid was 5,800 MW. Have you ever asked why?

Our national grid has a limited electricity-carrying capacity. It will collapse the moment you send over 6,000 MW to it. We need to upgrade to the grid to be able to carry that amount of electricity.

I guess you now understand why I said, it'll cost Lagos nearly $80 billion to be fully powered.

It'll cover the cost of building the power stations, building a new pipeline from Imo to Lagos, which is 529 KM, and installing new transmission cables to go entirely off-national-grid.


It's not SAMSUNG but Siemens.

The agreement, which was signed in 2019, was to deliver 7,000 MW to the national grid by 2021 and additional, 11,000 MW by 2023, totalling 18GW not 17 GW as you stated above. But this is 2024 and Siemens haven't added 1 MW to the national grid.

I believe you already know why.


Even at that, Lagos doesn't have $5 billion to build a GW of power plant. Again, $5 billion can't build a power plant.

Geometric that sits just 25Km away from its gas source costs $800 million many years ago. A 529-KM gas pipeline from Imo to Lagos will cost nearly $2 billion. I don't want to even talk about the transmission infrastructure. A KM cost over $1.2 million. Aba Geometric's transmission cables are over 150KM. How many do you think Lagos will need to fully distribute a GW of electricity?


How many years for each phase?


I don't know where you got $14 billion. Geometric cost $800 million.

Oya, use $500 million to build a 188MW integrated power plant with 25 km gas pipeline, transmission infrastructure with 150 KM cables, and a distribution company (disco) serving 9 LGAs.

You're being naively stupid. Don't throw up any tantrums here because it's obvious you're not knowledgeable but your aim to heat up enthic sentiments. Mind I'm from Abia state too.
Lagos state government has been building pockets of IPPs for dedicated areas in Lagos and they're still functional till date. GSM is only replicating model. Nothing wrong with that. Even ex-governor of Delta state, Ifeanyi Okowa built something similar that's powering the entire civil administrative building in Asaba.
