Your deficiency in the understanding of the workings of power system is obvious. There is nothing like hydro transmission. Power grid is all about multiple interconnection of power generating plants to interconnected users in order to create more relaible power delivery.
Let me rephrase. What is going to be the net transmission capacity of our national grid when those mushroom projects are completed?
We might gain 1k more

Imagine the depravity with which you speak. Your words reek of self conceit and gross selfishness.

So you didn't mention the five per centers that delayed that road because of lawsuits to prevent the government from enforcing right of way to build the road?

As is usually expected from you selfish lots (five percenters as you have chosen to identify yourselves) once you don't get anything, you cry victimisation and marginalization, without considering if others too have gotten it or not, not just in the SE but even in Lagos. I can't imagine that you would still tell people that because some areas in Lagos have a predominance of Igbo residents, government will deliberately neglect them. Are you still sane or has this victim mentality caused you brain paralysis?
Come to Alimosho and see a hundred and one roads still yet to be touched. Did anyone cry?

Get a life joor

Lawsuits, and yet Ambode fixed it in 6-months. grin grin grin

Asinine shitstain! It's "lot" not "lots", by the way.. But hey, your grammar is reflective of your mental incapacity - and that is why you rushed in to defend your Lord and personal saviour, Fashola. But not today, foòl. Captain Save-A-Dolt is here to reset your bamboozled and rancid brain. Next time tuck your tribalism into your trousers... I assure you, with your 3inch baby-dick, there's enough space to stuff that and much more of your festering foolery comfortably. wink

Fashola would deliver on power if supported.

There are more than these:

“The Afam 5 plant is currently being rehabilitated in collaboration with General Electric to restore 240 megawatts to the facility.

“All the turbine and equipment needed for the project are already in the country while the only challenge we are facing is the access road, logistic and few other things that we came to assess.

We think that we will add 240 megawatts and another 100 megawatts before December with addition of 276 megawatts in 2018 from Afam power plant alone,” he said.





The positives are, if we had this kind of momentum in the past 10-15 years or more, power outages would have been a very rare occurrence in Nigeria.

Story.

I did my SIWES in Afam Power PLC in 2013-14. The rehabilitation of Afam V started in Jan 2014. I remember interviewing one of the experts from Siemens. No dey give fashola glory for something he only sustained to completion.

Shut up and quit spewing rubbish.


You asked what the minister is doing to fix the transmission lines and I gave you exactly what you asked for where the minister explained in plain English what he's doing to fix the problem, but as usual, it flew over your can't read and comprehend head.


Now, the next silly question is the capacity and mushroom projects. So, the fact that some of them are hydro power plant mean you don't need transmission system to evacuate generated electricity. Are some of you really slow and retarded or you people just play dumb and retarded because you have nothing better to formulate inside your vacuous brains?

Please shut your ignorant mouth. You people just argue like 2 year old kids.

Keep confirming ur ignorance for all to see. You think "evacuation of power" into the national electricity grid covers 20% of the transmission infrastructure upgrade required to effectively get them across to consumers? Your are obviously ignorant of what an electricity grid is and how one works. Keep spewing vile words. Even from the time of Jonathan our generating capacity exceeded our transmission capacity.
For you to claim Fashola is delivering as expected then that translates to him hitting the ground running by prioritizing transmission projects over generating projects. What about estimated billing on the side of the customers? For your info, I am no Jonathan or Buhari apologist talk less of being a blind one.
I am only a patriotic Nigerian who understands the working of electrical power systems in so much details to allow misinformed people like you mislead the teeming public.

How this my statement take affect you to the extent you called me ignorant? Would it be that difficult for you, to buttress your point without being offensive? Meanwhile i can start counting what's wrong with hydro and why we are still getting electricity wrong but honestly after your rant, i feel no obligation to.

No mind this Fashola, a total failure in Buhari's govt. What even pain me na one foolish guy on nairaland praising uncle fash of working. But you just said his 8years in office as governor of Lagos he still couldn't fix Ago Palace road, but the foolish guy on marijuana then said this man even work pass Ambode. But according to my own assessment he only worked well in his first term in office as governor and failed Lagosians in his second term in office. But in Buhari's govt he is nothing but a total failure. I can argue this with anyone from now till tomorrow LOL. I can't even believe Fashola will fail in Buhari's govt. I have believed this man will work considering his first term as governor of Lagos.

You nailed it jare. Transmission and distribution are the major issues, even with the hovering around of our 5k megawatts.

We will.complain less, even today, if we could have 70% of what is generated, rather, we only pay for darkness, courtesy of these distribution companies.

These scams we call transmission and distribution companies will make a mockery of generation.

Redress the sale to these screwed, incompetent, political surrogates and Nigeria will be luminated.

This is the resultant effect of fake.privatisation done by ineffectual Buffon. How can a sane administration hand over a crucial sector like power to private individuals who have no good financial standing to finance the sector?

OBJ privatized telecommunication industry and the result is here for all to see, unlike the one done in telecommunication industry by Ogogoro drunkard.

Actually, edju is right. Our installed generation capacity is beyond 10000MW, but like was earlier posited, the problem is multi-faced:
1. The location of generation sites was politically motivated (without sense) hence we have a generation site for example in Ondo to be powered by gas from Rivers!
2. Our Transmission network is moribund. Our carrying capacity is around 4500MW.
3. Some peeps have suggested embedded generation (DG) which is nice but then we lack the following:
(i) real time data to quantify adequately the potential of available renewable energy resources in various locations.
(ii) expertise in DG/microgrid setup to cater for its integration, sustainability and economics.
(iii) any workable plan/legal backing that compels government to act to meet some benchmark targets.
4. The growing disconnect between the academia and industry which means that we would always need foreigners to develop and manage our electricity network.

Good morning bro...enjoyed your comment. Pls your point 3 (i). How can that be done...are there equipments for that and what sorts of doftwares if any.I do solar installation on a very small scale...actually just one installation with just 4 panels.

@ bjims hiya. As per my comments, no mind me jare.

Well, real time data for specific sites is important in sizing renewable energy systems.

For example, a PV+inverter+battery system. You would want to size (panel, battery, cable etc.) based on cost for a number of days (assuming no sunshine) and still meet demand. Furthermore, you would want the converter to be able to operate at maximum power point to harvest available power during sunshine hours/days. Historical data would provide you the opportunity to develop simple equations (using simple/multiple regression or other machine learning techniques) that govern certain weather conditions at certain time of the year while data specs of PV panel helps you model its behaviour under varying weather conditions (temperature, irradiance, wind speed, wind direction, shading etc.). With the disruption caused by technology, such systems are being equipped with smartness to be able to almost accurately predict based on their historical data and current weather conditions, the optimal operating point (duty cycle of the converter) for maximum power.

I'm humbled and highly impressed by what you do. Software that could help in machine learning - Python, Matlab (not open source and heavy), R etc.

Weather data could be gotten from IITA (Ibadan) and Nimet. I don't know the procedure though.

C/C++ language could be used in hardware programming to designing a local buck-boost converter. This will involve some skill in circuit design. You can always pick that up from Youtube.

I hope this helps a little.

Cheers.

Nigeria's power problems will never be solved by one man but unfortunately the present persons in government used that as a campaign promise and party manifesto . So do yourself a big favour and get knowledge when and if you can.
