But there is no power generation in this deal, just upgrade, transmission and distribution in all the phases of the project. Can you tell me where the 25,000 MW will be generated from? With zero production, what will you transmit and distribute? sonofthunder: |

As long as our energy mix is largely burning hydrocarbons, and consumers can add load unchecked, then we'll always be in a race condition trying to meet demand....and we'll always lose that race. |

OredoPikin:How much mw did pdp deliver in 16yrs? And for your lies that Siemens built 25MW while it was actually 14,400mw in 2yrs 5months. Here's the break down. The difference between Egypt’s Siemens project and Nigeria’s own deal comes down to speed of execution, structure, and consistency. 🇪🇬 Egypt (Fast – about 2.5 years) Handled by Siemens Why it moved quickly: Central control: Decisions came directly from Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and were executed without delays Full funding ready upfront: Egypt secured financing immediately (billions of dollars arranged quickly) Single focus: Build new power plants from scratch (3 massive stations at once) Minimal bureaucracy: Fewer approvals, less political back-and-forth Strong transmission planning: They upgraded generation and grid together 👉 Result: 14,400 MW delivered in ~2.5 years 🇳🇬 Nigeria (Slower – ongoing since 2019) Known as the Nigeria Electrification Roadmap Why it’s slower: Complex problem: Not just building new plants — Nigeria is fixing: Transmission Distribution Metering Funding delays: Loans (from Germany and others) took time to finalize Multiple stakeholders: Federal Govt, DISCOs, TCN, regulators — all must align Policy & leadership changes: Government transitions slow momentum Existing infrastructure issues: Old, weak grid needs upgrades before adding big power Phases in Nigeria Phase 1: Improve existing grid to reach ~7,000 MW (ongoing) Phase 2: Expand to ~11,000 MW Phase 3: Target ~25,000 MW long term 👉 This is planned over many years (possibly 8–10+ years total) The Real Difference (Simple) Egypt: “Build big, fast, from scratch” Nigeria: “Fix a broken system while upgrading it” Straight truth Egypt’s project was easier to execute because it was a clear, single mission with full money and control. Nigeria’s is harder because it’s rebuilding an entire power ecosystem, not just adding capacity. Pdp did not add one single mw to the grid for 16yrs. Arlt least Apc added 700mw... all of them have messed up but apc did little. Olu Agunloye of pdp stole almost 10 billion dollars for nepa and obj denied signing any paper this same pple are all in ADC una new campion. We need new Brains like bianca ojukwu, soludo, otti, as vice president 1 Like |

Kingbuhari:Not all Aba is getting 24/7 power supply. It is just like in Lagos where some specific areas and specialized, high-end, or commercial locations are receiving between 20 and 24 hours of power supply daily, often classified under the "Band A" tariff category. These areas are typically served by dedicated feeders or independent power projects (IPPs) and involve higher electricity tariffs. Some of these areas include... Ikeja Business Unit: Areas include parts of Ojodu (River Valley), Opebi (Awuse, General Hospital, Oba Akinjobi), and Secretariat Estate (Agidingbi). Akowonjo Business Unit: Locations include parts of Egbeda and Anifowoshe (Siyanbola, Awolowo). Island Business Unit: High-consumption areas such as 1004 Estate, 2nd Avenue, Corporation Drive, Federal Palace Express, Federal Secretariat, Foreshore, ICON, Idowu Martins, Kingsway, Parkview, and parts of Victoria Garden City (VGC). Other Areas: Parts of Abule-Egba (Ijaiye), Oshodi (Ajao Estate, Canal), and Shomolu (Ilupeju, Magodo, Maryland, Ogudu) also feature locations with high-hour supply. Commercial/Market Zones: Select commercial hubs like the Sura Shopping Complex and Iponri Market have independent power solutions providing 24/7 electricity. 1 Like |

franvincoop:Siemens main duty is to upgrade our transmission and distribution capabilities..... And yes to that 25,000mw. But problem is more than that. Even though our transmission capacities are very poor compared to the already poor generation capacity, the distribution arm of electric power has been reported to be in the business of rejecting power from generation companies. |

OredoPikin:have you forgotten the news that the chief driver of that Siemens power project was allegedly killed by covid but the same covid did not affect the Siemens Oyingbo people he discussed with, neither did the covid affect the driver that was in the same vehicle with him from airport to his house. Since then no one has really driven the Siemens deal to follow through. Little wonder you have Band ABCD |

COVID COVID messed up funding and also prevented Siemens from sending in experts to help with the work COVID also did a number on our finances. For over 11 months , oil was below 30.dollars a barrel. We had to literally borrow just to survive. That is when ways and means went from emergency funding things to a way of life. Same issue with Kaduna - Abuja road and some other projects. COVID . |
