Stop distorting public perception of situation with lies. You mean Gej admin built up generating capacity up to 5,000MW, 6,000MW, 7,000MW, 8,000MW, 9,000MW, 10,000MW, . . . . . 12,000MW without increasing transmission capacity and your are the only privy to this information? Chai . . . . There is God oh!
Sharap and never quote my comment if you are not here to learn from people with facts and information privy to only the ruling caucus who knows no political divide.

Do you know what it cost to build a global transmission infrastructure Nigeria operate instead of the new generation captive system as recommended by experts for a country like Nigeria?

Oh so because of cost implication the IB choose to secretly expand generation capacity. Where did you get this electric brain from?
That is like a farmer saying because the capacity to transfer his harvest onwards to his customer is limited, he chose to increase planting and cultivation with guaranteed increased wastage in view. PDP killer Logic Obiagelli and co pls come see sumtin oh.

Licence of any Power distributors who is not serving Nigerians enough should be withdrawn. They are nothing but saboteurs.

Someone should pls inform Ondo State government that there has been no light in Odigbo LGA, Okitipupa LGA, Ese-odo LGA and Irele LGA for the past two years. Some people were complaining about 4days blackout but here in Ondo state, there is total black out for good two years with no possibility of hope coming our way.
haha! This Folake guy sha.

Contractors handling transmission lines contracts are d real saboteurs. Tell me,whatz holding a contractor,IPDC-HC Consortium Ltd locate at #7,Udo Udoma str.,off Yakubu Gowon Cr.,Asokoro from completing a 23-25km "Kaduna-Mando rd 330kV DC TL" after he has been mobilized since Feb. 2011?
Re: Power Distribution Firms Reject Supply From Generating Plants by sunkoye: 5:22pm On Mar 16, 2016
an independent dept should be created in ministry of power with a software to monitor power generation -who will report directly to the director in charge of network distribution and minister of power.

a situation when the MD of any of the discos will not be able to sleep when he also get report from his own pple that they are transmitted below target cos he understands the consequence of queries and numerous sactions that will follow from Power Ministry.

The government should have broken down the transmission network and sold it to the Gencos. Tribalism and federal xter will not let them unbundle the national grid
This national grid is the bane of Nigerias power problems. They need to get it unbundled or decentralised.
Re: Power Distribution Firms Reject Supply From Generating Plants by Reference(m): 6:01pm On Mar 16, 2016
Abeg. Nigerians make una pay for services. This chicken and egg situation has got to stop. If power is generated and discos can't take it because people are not paying then the cycle of trust is broken and we all suffer. No one wants to run at loss.

why can't it be transfer to those that needs it and do have the capacity to pay

Tell the governments in those LGA that rather than turn a deaf ear and blind eye to your predicament, they should contract people like me to provide some alternative source of electricity i.e. Solar electricity. They can't continue to share federal allocation within themselves

You called them saboteurs , how ? What did they sabotage ? What's the main cause of the rejection . This is the only way we can salvage this counrty else we are stuck .
Didn't you read... They are not getting enough revenues from segments of their customers base... Which is a very silly excuse
Re: Power Distribution Firms Reject Supply From Generating Plants by blackprowler: 6:24pm On Mar 16, 2016
Forget all this thing; Nigeria is a fraud. Fraud is our natural default position. This very electricity management model in this country is a fraud; it is unnecessary and unsuited for our environment. This model entails that some major stations generate the electricity and most need a complex and precarious network of gas piping to even function. After that, they transmit the generated power hundreds of kilometres all around to companies that then distribute them. It is the same mentality of our society regarding governance, that everything must emanate from a source (leader) and be distributed thence. We don't need that at all. In today's world, the money wasted on this electricity conundrum since 1999 (some mind-boggling billions of US dollars) could have supplied an excess of solar installations in small units all over people's homes and small solar farms in Nigeria. The power will emanate from the homes rather than be distributed to the homes. The home becomes the beginning of the journey rather than the end destination. The areas near sources of gas may continue to use gas as their major source of electricity and suffer any consequence of pipeline vandalisation. The places where water dams are situated will continue to use hydro power as their major source of electricity. In fact there is absolutely no reason why power issue should be a federal government issue - it should be within the responsibilities of each state to provide electricity to their citizens. I am a weak writer; this issue has a lot more detail than I can have the patience to write here but those in charge with all the PhDs know this but they love the power they wield over the population and don't want to give it up. There's a huge fraud in the system. Black man is insincere about bettering his society

They want keep us in darkness and save cost. Some people are very devilish in their quest for money.
Re: Power Distribution Firms Reject Supply From Generating Plants by DelGardo: 7:03pm On Mar 16, 2016
LadyExcellency:
The capacity to generate is different from the actual power generated.

The handover document to APC by GEJ's administration contains a paragraph stipulating that we have the capacity to generate 12000Mw already but the gas infrastructure and transmission networks are still inadequate hence the new government should work on them as to deliver the output to the final consumers.
Una don start abi?
Tomorrow when this government achieves 10,000Mw wailers will point to this baseless assertion to claim credit for Uncle IB. Continue.

At least we now see all resources and available power infrastructure being stretched to the limit through efficiency improvements in the generation area. Its just a matter of time before new projects come on stream... then we will take a step up from the embarrassing state of things in the past.

Change!

I was thinking the same thing, the national grid should be unbundle into generating, transmission and distribution, as three different companies.

U just said the truth, many Nigerians don't pay for power, I hv seen this myself. And they want adequate power supply, complaining that the govt is bad, and they want change from the govt when they can not change themselves.

So we got an existing over 6k mega watts generation but got issues distributing it.. Fash now your work starts... Find a way to ensure the existing power generation sustained by the previous admin is distributed to all and find ways to generate more power via solar, wind energy, coal and gas.. Talk to our traveller to kick start the gas projects in brass and ondo so that we can generate more fossil power...
6k mega watts is very tiny fracture of what Nigeria need, we need about 120k mega watt to hv constant light in this country.

if at 6k mw people are not paying for their power supply, forcing the Discos to reject power supplied to them, forcing the Gencos to shut down, how would we ever get to the 120k mw mark?

na awuf mentality dey worry us as a nation.

for the records i pay my power bills, which as at last month (feb 2016) stood at N4,347.55 for 228kwh.
