Una no dey see light ke?

For Abia wey get light pass Aso Rock?

Aba get light,
State capital, nothing

SonOfWords:
You don dey live for Abia state ?

Travelled for Easter

Perhaps house rent in Abia is ridiculously lower than other states.

lawani:
Gas can never be better than solar or wind. You still have to buy gas no matter how cheap and you have to evacuate it to the point of use. You can't get mediocre power costs with gas ever. However it can be a support because it has no downtime

Lol

Use solar to industrialise a country and provide constant electricity to millions regardless of the weather conditions.

It depends on what you consume.

Are you on prepaid?

CannibalEast:
Electricity is cost everywhere not only Abia state, I'm on band A and I pay between 40 to 50k Every month.

You are on estimated?

MrSly:
My bill is about 35k monthly and I don't have up to 3hours power supply except sinc this April that it has increased to roughly 8 to 10 hours.

Solar is not static. It is now considerably developed. It is powering Aso Rock, powering 10 room hotels with running AC as advertised, powering small factories, it can certainly power the whole country. Something powering Aso rock can power the whole country

Did you do Comprehension in English in school at all? Because from your post on this news, it shows that you lack basic comprehension skills in English and you need to go back to the basics in primary school. Thank you.

Okoyeeboz:
Drop in supply ke?
In Abia?

Abia wey get light pass USA?
Abi them no collect permission from Otti before them post this story?

Abia people are suffering, smiling and paying for the suffering.

God forbid Abia state.

Okoyeeboz:
Liars ought to have good memories.

You guys said light doesn't blink in Abia. Now, you are crying that there's no light and the bills are crazy.

Aba has STEADY POWER
Aba Power runs that axis
EEDC runs some other axis which may be where the report is coming from.
Abịa is trying to run completely off EEDC but it has not happend yet.
Aba Power is exceptional.
Nobody in aba complains of light.

My advise is for anyone to save money and get a solar that at least can carry the basics in his house.
We are not used to paying high government provided establisment bills considering also the income and subsidy which Tinubu took away without any form of increased income.
It will get worst because these establishments does whatever they like without a checkmate.

None of the european countries that rely more on wind energy such as Denmark and Germany, have anything close to the amount of natural gas Nigeria does. Their reliance on wind, is deliberate because they don't want to depend on countries like Russia for their energy source. Also, they want to transition to renewable sources of energy. Their use of wind energy has even made electricity more expensive for them because of the huge upfront cost and need for back up and storage in periods of low wind flow or sunshine.

Can gas do what wind did in some European countries? Impossible. No matter how cheap you still have to buy gas and you have to evacuate it by pipeline or by truck

Even when wind costs ten percent of what gas costs?

For a country that does not have natural gas, definitely wind energy might be cheaper. But for Nigeria with the vast natural gas reserves,
gas will always be cheaper than wind or solar especially for large scale power supply (national or regional grid). We even flare it to show you how cheap it is.
With the kind of cloud cover we get during the rainy season in Nigeria, solar energy is not reliable. How many areas in Nigeria except in the north, experience the kind of wind speeds required for wind energy?

I agree with you on the need for Nigeria to have a mix of gas, solar, hydro and wind, but gas should have the higher percentage because it is reliable and we have it in abundance.

I have no doubt that gas can be cheap because it is cheap in RCCG camp, Winners camp and etc but they don't use high tension transmission in those places. They get to consume a higher percentage of what they generate but on the overall solar hydro and wind will always be vastly cheaper than gas. Read up on how wind power led to Denmark paying next to zero for power. The only or main advantage of gas is there will be no downtime so far gas is available.

The question Aba people need to ask is why is their electricity so expensive? RCCG is 25MW and not supplied by a pipeline and it was ridiculously cheap when I lived there. I am not sure of now. Why is power generated by Geometric so expensive? It should be cheaper because of scale and because it is supplied gas by a pipeline

I appreciate.
