Rainy season...thank God grin

- 4,810.7MW is latest peak not 5,000MW
And Nigeria did not have any rainy season under jona and 16 years of PDP.

Fashola did in less than 1 year what PDP and jona couldn't do in 16 and what Nigeria couldn't do since independence/56 years..

PMB wasn't foolish when he gave that job to Fashola..

Smh...

Can raining season amount to anything if hydro turbines are not working. When this government came into power, they found out that more than two-third of our hydro turbines were not functional. Now they have been repaired and are now operational.This is why we are now enjoying improvement in power supply.

Situation would have been even much more better had Niger Delta boys not been destroying gass pipelines because right now as we speak, a lot of bass turbines are lying idle.Our actual installed capacity in power generation is 7000MW plus.

I hope by the time the light power drops to below 2000MW as usual that you will also give Fashola the credit and not start looking for where to deflect the blame.

During Jonathan era, electricity generation usually move upward from around 2100MW to 2700MW during the rainy season.

We never experienced power stability during the Jonathan era like we are experiencing today tongue

Bad belle. Pray for the progress of your nation. Stop wishing that this government will fail.

You people cannot even hide the darkness in your hearts. You give yourself out very easily grin

Problems create opportunities for greatness.

Just last month, Plateau State created over 40,000 new millionaires from rice farming. Same is happening in other states where people are taking advantage of the economic recession to better their lives and contributing to the growth of the economy.

Those who chose to be negative during this crises will likely end up remaining poor while the positive minded would have improve their lives tremendously when this economic recession is over.

I will advise you to do something with your life and stop whinning[ wink cheesy grin

I think you should first and foremost thank the EEDC company and the state government for the intervention before thanking the federal government.

BC they are the enablers.
If Jonathan is the person in power, you will not talk like this. You are a bigot.

lol u knw our area is school area and place is congested with off camp hostels. Two, three, even up to five storey buildings so a lot of money will be needed to fund for new transformers. Now the landlords who own these properties, most of them do not even stay in Aluu community so it's gona be very difficult for electricity to even be installed.



Infact as soon as my rent expire, I go just pack comot from dat area.

Going by your upside down thinking, you and your kind were abusing him and calling him names like minister of darkness when power dropped because of terrorist bombings of gas pipelines, so why are you not giving him credit now that things are improving.?


Obviously, bad and sad news about Nigeria is the only thing you people see and pray for while anything good and progress about Nigeria brings you pain and sadnesses..

Please read: http://thenationonlineng.net/tcn-lacks-capacity-evacuate-power/

The industry source who countered the position of the TCN said a transmission company worth its onions should have double of existing generation capacity.
I really don't know how people including government ministers will just sit in their air-conditioned offices to manufacture lies to deceive Nigerians.

Few weeks ago, Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) raised alarm that national grid does not have the capacity to wheel the so-called 5,000MW gencos claim they can generate. So in reality the much claimed 5,000 is not being generated by running turbines. They are just idle cold machines.

Even at the true capacity of 3,484MW, they need network capacity of 6969MW to be able to wheel (carry) that much power to DISCOs (distribution companies like EKEDC, IKEDC, etc). Implication is you need about 200% or double of the generating capacity as wheeling capacity for efficient evacuation to prevent systems collapse. Actual current wheeling capacity of TCN is about 4,000W.

I don't know why Nigerians are so gullible and allow their leaders to easily deceive them, without bothering to do a simple check of facts.

The so called 5000W is nothing but virtual megawatt or "technical" megawatt. Nigerians including those "jubilating" are still lighting candle and running "I better pass my neighbour".
