Chukwuka16:
I am quite familiar with the NERC regulation with regards to embedded generation below 2MW. I was already scared that Fashola was encouraging 'everyone' to go become an independent distributed generator operator. His lack of knowledge in the field shows from time to time.
Cheers.

Confused set of people, they are now shifting the responsibilities on others. Very soon they will be saying, "we don't have light cos people have refused to generate power "

Have you heard of NESCO in Jos?

They've been selling directly to residents since 1929

abokikhalifa:

How?

Rayhandrinni:
We don't want to buy and sell We just want 24hrs supply Non stop.

Speaking on the electricity supply situation in the country, Minister of Power, Babatunde Fashola has announced that people are now free to set up independent power generation companies “without necessarily requesting for license.”

Fashola, who made the announcement while on an inspection of Federal works in Jigawa State, stressed that the Federal Government is encouraging the private sector to invest in generation and selling of power to the public.

He said, “Any interested individual or company can set up power generation from two[b] megawatts downwards and sell it to public without requesting for any licence[/b].

“We are encouraging people to set up small power generation and sell it according to their capacity, not necessarily going for big projects that require huge amount of money and expertise”.

Evidence of mental laziness and why they often refer to Nigerian youths as being lazy.YOU NEED TO ANSWER THE QUESTION HOW ,BEFORE WHAT?

Nothing prevented this before now.

The Power act states that anything above 10MV must be pushed into the grid.

Which is why Lagos was able to do the Marina IPP that supplies public facilities (general hospital, state House, street lights etc).

This >10MV arrangement meant that as many people in say Gbagada and environs could be placed on one IPP.

Imagine several across Nigeria!

The ONLY challenge is that the distribution infrastructure belonged/belongs to the government (then) DISCO (now), so this arrangement is best for semi private estates like VGC that can deploy their own distribution infrastructure at scale.

[addition]

Imagine that Industrial estates are able to collocated power generation and therefore remove themselves from the National Grid for cheaper more predictable power (already happening in some places) and thus freeing up available generated power for others!

This people is why you usually have better power supply on holidays! The factories are usually down on holidays!

They don't seem to have a website.

They generate power from 5 hydroelectric dams.

The reason they may have had the 'Nigeria' prefix may be owing to them being a pre-independence pre-CAC entity.

If you do a Google search you will come up with stats and history

Fashola advocates law empowering states to produce, distribute electricity

According to the Fashola, “If tomorrow, the National Assembly legislates that states should generate and distribute power, a state like Lagos will conveniently generate its own electricity and distribute same to its residents”.
