Re: Where Is The Siemens Deal? 4 Years Later, Nigerians Are Still In The Dark by franvincoop: 5:56pm On Apr 25

I agree with you but what I have not understood is where the 25000MW will come from.
I don't play with words
Can the generation companies produce 25000MW?
What is their production capacity in MW as of today?
Where will 25000MW come from? because it's not in the Siemens deal to generate even 1MW.

This is my question.
Upgrade, transport, distribute, transmit are not my problem, Siemens will handle that.
But how will the Siemens deal not be stalled or slow when there is not enough MW generated to be transported, distributed or transmitted?
Don't you think it's putting the cart before the horse?

I personally believe Siemens should be allowed to generate its own electricity, transmit and distribute alongside the upgradation of our transmission and distribution grid.
This Siemens deal, the way it is structured will have them relying on power generation companies.

I say this because this same Siemens was involved in the 16 billion USD OBJ National Integrated Power Project (NIPP) deals to build transmission lines.
Nigerians have very short memories.

Here are the list of companies involved in that project with nothing to show for it today including Siemens.

Pivot Engineering Ltd was awarded contracts in the sum of $78,625,736.54 for the construction of Owerri-Ahoada-Yenagoa 132 KVA DC lines and substations. It is to be noted that out of this, $73,023,521.36 has been paid to the contractor.

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.

Once Obi goes to Egypt again to understudy their power revolution, APC will restart the Siemens deal propaganda.

Propaganda does not give light, does not build roads and will never win the insecurity war.

Na now Obi wake up? Na Egypt be Obi study center? Why didn't Obi go to Egypt and study them when he was governor of Anambra state? Tinubu brought the first IPP to Lagos when he was governor but OBJ frustrated it. Obi too dey act jare.

The $2.3 billion Siemens-Nigeria Power Deal (Presidential Power Initiative - PPI) is active and in its second phase as of early 2026, aimed at modernizing Nigeria's power grid and improving reliability.

Following a period of stagnation, the project was revived by President Tinubu's administration. It has successfully delivered and commissioned multiple mobile substations and transformers, yielding roughly 984 MW in additional capacity. The overall target is to reach 25,000 MW with projects ongoing to reduce grid outages.

Key status updates include:

Revival and Status: The partnership was stalled but was revived and accelerated, with, as of early 2026, the project is moving forward under President Tinubu, having seen increased momentum.

Infrastructure Progress: Siemens has delivered and installed 132/33 KV mobile substations and several 75/100 MVA and 60/66 MVA transformers nationwide.

Phase 2 Goals: The project is currently focused on upgrading seven lines and installing 10 transmission lines covering 554 km to boost capacity to 7,140 MW.
.
Key Focus: The deal seeks to mitigate grid failure, increase electricity access, and upgrade key transmission substations.

Timeline: The project timeline was extended, with some critical project components (substations) expected to be finalized around 2026.

I have solved my electricity problem — solar. I have solved my water problem — a borehole. Since medical issues here are usually malaria and the common cold, that is under control. I can’t do much about security. For education, my children will either go the best of private schools or japa when the time comes.

I provide for myself. My government doesn’t see why I should enjoy the basics of life.

The things you said are not the problem are equally as big a problem as generation if not worse. What is the use of wasting resources to produce electricity that just cannot be consumed?

keemsleek:
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

PDP didn't add what? Where my Afam people at? Could you educate this person!!

You tried.

Most of them don't really care to know nor ask with good intentions.

Watch how they'll start disputing what you've posted.

OredoPikin:
Back in 2022/23, during the campaign run up to the 2023 elections, Peter Obi traveled to Egypt to study how they solved their power crisis, a fix so successful they now run a surplus. He wanted to see if that model could work for Nigeria.

What did he get for it? Attacks.
APC supporters mocked him, insisting the Buhari led APC government had already signed a deal with the same Siemens that handled Egypt’s turnaround. Photos of transformers circulated. “It’s done,” they said. “Obi is late.”

Fast forward to 2026. Four years have passed. Another election cycle is here. APC is still in power.

for context, the deal was signed in 2018 to add 25,000MW to our electricity generation. It's been 8yrs since that deal was signed.

So, where is the Siemens deal?
Where is the electricity?

Where are the transformers we were shown back then? Where is the megawatt increase Nigerians were promised under the Presidential Power Initiative with Siemens?

If the deal was real and executed, why are we still battling the same grid collapses and poor supply? If it failed, why the silence?

We can’t pretend this is not a question worth asking. Before we start debating 2027, Nigerians deserve an account of the last promises made.

To the APC supporters and defenders who told us the Siemens deal was already "settled" in 2022: where is it?

Power is not propaganda. It’s either in your sockets or it is not. And right now, the only thing Nigerians can see clearly is darkness.

Where is the Siemens deal?
Where is the electricity?

All we are getting is the falling and collapsing of the grid like bulabulu

Putinofrussia:
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.

this is why they want Alex otti desperately.. maybe to use his achievement boast their CV 🤣 apc are economic bandits
