Ambode would Achieve this feat and shame Fashola.

Dangote should be made President of Nigeria.
He has built a pipeline all the way to his refinery in Lagos that would pump gas from the Niger Delta which is enough to power both the refinery and the entirety of Lagos.


If this feat is achieved Lagos would officially be cut out of the mess that is Buhari’s Nigeria.

But I bet the FG is already working out a plan to scuttle this.

Honestly Lagos is a state inside a State.
Lagos economy alone is almost the size of all the states in some regions put together.The state can survive without the federal allocation.

Lagos remains a model state and that is how it ought to be.

Our hope of electricity lies with Ambode because Fashola has failed

Shame Fashola? Are you aware Fashola is the reason Dangote is building his refinery in Lagos?

I know that very well. The refinery was originally planned for Ondo state. But Fashola ensured that Dangote moved the plant to the LFTZ.

Now I'm refering to Fashola as Minister of Power, works and Housing. His performace is terribly poor. Buhari has so infected him with incompetence that Ambode as Governor has probably constructed more Kilometers of road in Lagos that Fashola has done in the whole country despite boasting that he recieved the highest budgetary allocation every in the history of works ministry. N2.2 trillion Naira capital budget in 2017 and you cannot see even a completed 50km road anywhere in the country.

So I know what I'm talking.

The power plan by Ambode would be an interesting one. To bypass approval from the FG, they have to install multiple power plants that are less than 10MW in size. 10MW would power maybe 10,000 homes. To do that they have top work in tandem with the distribution companies Eko Electric and Ikeja Electric(owned by Duex Projects & Sahara Energy).No need for transmission lines as the power plants dont have to run through those lines.

My big fear is the FG would come with a silly policy refusing EIA approval of the gas pipelines that should criss cross underneath the lagoons to the various locations of the embedded power plants.

LAGOS EMBEDDED POWER PLAN


Representation of entire value chain
The critical value chains in the power sector including generation and distribution and transmission are fully represented in the project. Also important is the guarantee of gas feedstock from producers and bankability of the project.

First of its kind in Nigeria, the project will generate up to 3,000MW of electricity through deployment of power plants in strategic locations around the state. The first phase will be commissioned before the end of the first quarter of 2018, and is expected to deliver 520MW incremental power, while additional 1,070MW will be delivered by the fourth quarter of 2018. The balance of 1,410MW will be completed by 2022.

Iron-clad guarantees
Many power projects in Nigeria cannot take off because of unavailability of solid guarantee usually in the form of Power Purchase of Agreements. However the Lagos state government power project is backed by 3-months rolling bank guarantees to support the PPAs which will be signed by distribution companies and the Embedded Power Providers (EPPs) to enhance bankability of the project.

A special Purpose Vechile (SPV) will be registered under the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) to undertake critical aspects of the programme. The state will also delineate ring-fenced embedded power deployment areas into manageable zones from end users based on kilowatts/megawatts of power injected into transformers/feeders allocated to sub vendors all backed by agreements.

Certainty of feedstock
The Lagos state power project may not suffer uncertain delivery of feedstock common with major power plants in Nigeria. While Nigeria has about 25 power plants with 80 percent of them relying on gas, power supply is barely 4,000MW due to unavailability of gas feedstock.

In the agreement, Lagos state government signed with investors, it will secure gas for the project through guarantee to gas suppliers using its Ibile Oil & Gas company. The state will prequalify eligible gas suppliers in a joint venture agreement to receive the guaranteed gas from gas producers and sell to end users. JV companies will also be responsible for rollout of pipelines as required.

“Given the intractable challenges of local gas market, and to guarantee uninterrupted gas supply to the EPPs, Lagos State has finalised arrangements with reputable international gas suppliers to deploy a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) to be moored on Lagos waters and this will be further supported by trucking of LNG from the South-South (in the short-term),” said an agreement the state has with investors seen by BusinessDay.

Cost recovery mechanism
The state will embark on an independent and comprehensive power audit exercise in areas where the embedded power will be deployed. These include Epe, Ikorodu, Ikeja, Badagry, Marina, Ibeju Lekki, Apapa and Ikoyi where the embedded project will be deployed.

EPPs will generate and inject off-grid power for distribution through the network of Eko and Ikeja Discos. Further investments will be made in upgrading distribution infrastructure through the power sector and cost will be recovered from wheeling charges due to the DisCos based on agreed terms.

The Lagos state government will enter into a JV with credible partners for the rollout and installation of smart prepaid meters in the areas where embedded power is to be deployed. The DisCos will be assisted by vendors in collection who will provide bank guarantees for power supplied to their feeder stations, after adjustments for commercial and technical losses and administrative charges.

DisCos revenues from the sale of embedded power will be ring fenced from other obligations. Interesting the project is enjoying wide support from residents in the state as evidenced from the fact that there has not been much opposition to the proposed tariff of N52.52 per kW.

Strong legal framework
Lagos will enact a legal framework to be known as the Lagos State Embedded Power Law as well as the a law on power theft which will prescribe still penalities for power theft in the state. There will also be a proposed Lagos state power council (LSPC) that will be a voice for consumer protection, advocacy and negotiation of end user tariff. The governor will appoint the chairman and will will have in DisCos and other interest groups.
