Are you asking a Fashola that does not even know you exist not to talk of answering your question?

What sought of ambiguous belief provoked your question believing you will get answers when you fully know you re a NOBODY
who be this one again....!?? and obviously u jus a dumb boy supporting the clueless ones...I ain't surprised

Stable or not, my dream is to buy and set my own Solar plan to serve my energy needs. Lets go renewable and forget the woes of gas pipe bombing by our niger deltan brothers Vs PHCN abi na DISCO excuses, no wonder the Kind Disco-light we're getting this days no get part two.

WORD!!

Solar is the way to go, just that it's expensive compared to initial price of purchasing a generator set for the same power capacity.

...but you just can't beat that CONSTANT supply of electricity once you have it. it's a thing of beauty

Na so, they tend make its importation so difficult with high custom duty fee, when Kenyan government is trying hard to see all its citizens owning theirs our government want its citizen to hang in the dark so that when a white man viewed Africa, expecially Nigeria from space in his little space-craft he'll have some thing to laugh about a dark nation with darkness every were. well the solar panel can last you 20-25years depending of type and price.

lol @ the darkeness from the sky grin

honestly, I think a government needs to subsidize the panels for the consumers.

forget about petrol subsidy, there should be solar subsidy.

as you said, they last for 20-25 years, so it makes sense to subsidize it, as opposed to subsidizing petrol that just burns away in an instant, sigh sad

even if it's 10% off.

later they can build smart grids that enable consumers to sell their excess power.

Imagine if I go on vacation for 2 months and i have an empty house with a 2kw solar installation just wasting away. Wouldn't it be smart to sell that back to the grid, so that my neighbor without solar can maybe benefit from that 2kw worth of power?

sigh sad

Ehn en lol...I actually meant inverter with solar....so you can store enough energy.

God help us for the yawa we dey for this country

lol na true na, African cities and towns when view from the moon is said to be in darkness while the rest of the world is beautifully electrified, they even call the continet a Dark continent because of that yet some of our useless African presidents will gladly go and sit in UN meetings with no shame when their rural and most towns are in total darkness. They only ensure to some extend electricity is served to major cities just to trick any foreigne diplomat visiting the country, that we know.

When you go to our Major cities we still believe they are well electrified with bulbs every were, go to Tokyo or New york those are cites not beautiful village. We're still a village continent grin no offence.

Most African governments expecially My dear country Nigeria rather subsidize pollution producing products, adding up to global warning and spending huge money on white elephant projects on the electricity plans around the nation. And yet we're still in the dark. even though subsidy for petroleum product has being done away with, As you mention, "solar Panels should be subsidized". And how do they do that? I think by wooing those major manufacturers of high quality panels into the country to start production. Just of recent, Japan is planning to start the recycling of its huge pill up of old panels to re-sell back to buyers around the world to make income.

When a nation lacks leaders with insights about a better future for its citizens all these are bound to happen. Also Morroco, Ghana and South Africa are thinking about building huge Solar Farms to add to their already existing power grids. That of Morroco has being commissioned to some extend already while we're still in the stone age in this country.

When rural electrification is not giving the needed attention, the goverment should have nothing to talk about the problem of unemployment because not providing a rural dweller with electricity in the 21st century do you then expect to chain him down from going to the cities in search of Greener pasture? If the fail to embrace electric power sourced through solar then they should keep expecting high unemployment and population explosion that stretches all other infrastructures in the cities and towns as many depend on electricity for their daily bread.

Talking about selling your excess electric power to the grid, that is exactly what is doing on in the western world, they that do not have enough annual sun light when compared to its aboundance here on the continent of Africa, where we experienced about 325days of hot sun light yearly that is estimated by experts to generate enough electricity to power one third of the planet earth if well harnessed. Out there they have programs some even wooing their citizens to just mount the panels on their roofs for a discount, where full payment is installmental. And after payment you can sell your excess power to the grid for cash.

Some areas have been enjoying reasonable level of power supply from my research and i equally have clients who operates their businesses around there. Places such as Odogunyan in Ikorodu, Ogba-Akilo in Ikeja, Ajuwon-Iju, Ota-Obasanjo farm communities, Winners chapel areas, Ahmadiya-Ijaiye on Abeokuta expressway, Itori by Lafarge in ewekoro Ogun state and many other places outside Lagos and Ogun state.

At least, in the areas mentioned above you are sure of 20-24 hours power supply, in Ajuwon alone, there has been power supply for the past 24hours and this has been the situation for several months back. I believed we will overcome the challenges of power supply once we can do away with corruption and favoritism in the management of power business.

So, relax and hope for a better Nigeria instead of being a prophet of doom.

I help people to start small business so i do a lot of research when it comes to power and other business challenges in Nigeria.

I also blog at www.hollalaycan.com
This is not new. All those areas mentioned by you has been so for years. Even better under Jonathan. So it is not a yardstick to measure progress. Fashola has not added a dime to power. On the contrary it is worse in my area.

THE 3247.4 megawatts (MW) of electricity generated on Saturday, yesterday crashed to 3,050.20MW, thereby increasing the woes of the citizenry who have been longing for an improved power supply.
According to the Nigerian Electricity System Operator of Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, the highest system frequency recorded on the day under review was 51.52Hz, while the lowest frequency was 47.14Hz, TCN said. The peak generation ever attained remained 5,074MW. An official of TCN, who preferred anonymity, said electricity generation had been dwindling due to challenges of accessing gas by generation companies. Meanwhile, the Executive Secretary, Association of Power Generation Companies, Joy Ogaji, has linked power challenges to market debts owed them, which stood at over N400 billion. Her words: “The situation in power generation is very obvious and clear. The fact still remains that we at the generation end of the value chain are quite handicapped at the moment, with the logs of market debts owed us which has risen to over 400 billion naira.
