No such thing existed back then

Lagos state couldn't distribute power to residents because it was against the constitution.



You shouldn't believe everything someone says.

Better to crosscheck for yourself.

As per they not having a website, it hurts that a postulation that lots of people down here don't travel round the country more often seems valid.

That they don't have a website doesn't change the fact that they've been reliably supplying eltrctricity to customers for years.

No, the government simply give you the right to produce sell or resell electricity without the need for a license

Instead if asking me not to believe what other people say, why not show us facts to dispute that assertions with.

Show us the law or the Constitution that says State governments like Lagos State can serve State residents.


You are yet to support all your flawed assertions in this thread with facts, even ordinary website you can not produced, but you are asking other people to crosscheck their fact.

that is a very good idea, it will help to curtail the way with which NEPA cuts peoples head with dubious bills. and the biz will be a thriving one.
all of you commending this policy have forgotten that after generation you need distribution, are the mini power plant owners also going to setup their own distribution infrastructure too?

How?

I guess he just woke up now. Abi you forgot that this same man said ' any serious govt should be able to fix power in 6 months' it is 3 years now and he is coming to tell us this. How about all the lies about the thousands of megawatts the claimed to be generating. How about the billions they have spent claiming to generate power that we cannot see. All of a sudden any Nigerian can generate power and sell to people. What are the discos currently doing? I guess they are playing ludo and not generating power.

Maybe the next news will be any nigerian can construct roads and build toll gates on them to make their money back. they should just shift all their responsibilities of govt on the people like they have been doing and still continue to collect taxes and use it to live lavish.

How many hours do you have light currently compared to the past? Talk true

There will be no Distribution problem if you are directly selling the power to consumers on site.

I don't think any rational businessman in Nigeria will want to sell the 2MW power to consumers far away from production site. This is perfect, if well managed for Small and Medium size businesses, Housing Estates and cottage industries or light manufacturers
what exactly will be the source of power for these mini generation companies? definitely not gas because we don't have a widespread gas pipeline like in the western countries and diesel is too expensive, solar is also not economical at the present price level for power.

This is the most ignorant and unintelligent assertion ever.

Your website is your front dooor

Your website is our receptionist and customer service

Your website is where people go to find out about your operation instead of getting on a plane from all over the world or driving thousands or hundreds of miles to your location.

Your website tells people your phone number and your address.

Your website is important because it helps you establish credibility as a business.

Not having a website is criminal and corporate negligence.

Now, back to the website issue. You and the other joker can not come up with a website simply because there's not because major companies and even serious companies have websites.


You people need to stop peddling lies that you can not back up with facts.

I dont enjoy up 5 hours uninterrupted power supply straight. The annoying thing is there is no difference between then and now. I still always have to buy fuel for my gen and use it most times. Really this things dont bother me no more. I have given up on the country. If i had the money i will even fix bad roads myself just to avoid the annoying dodging of pot holes. I dont see anything to be happy about in what fashola has said. I have been paying for the electricity that i do not use while still providing electricity for myself with generator. Small time na to just buy solar panels and totally ignore anything phcn or whatever they call themselves. But the question i want to ask you is; what does the govt want to do for the people even with tax payers money?

Anyone from Plateau and parts of Kaduna will substantiate the facts about NESCO. They are an electricity company from the colonial times. Originally part of a conglomerate including the defunct Amalgamated Tin mines of Nigeria and others. They do not have a a website. Everything he said about them is true. They supply electricity to parts of Plateau and Southern Kaduna. Also supply to companies like Nasco in Jos.

oga u are the ignorant one here. if you render a service where your costumer base is local why will anyone need to travel thousands of miles? the point is their customer base I.e electricity consumers, are confined within a locality that is in close proximity to the biz and if the viz is making profits a website is not essential and it becomes secondary, even in western countries where there is so much awareness and penetration of ICT many local businesses whose costumer base are local do not have websites.

and as for that your careless statement of describing not having a website as criminal and... well it largely show your shallow level of reasoning.

igbodefender:
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 megawatts downwards and sell it to public without requesting for any licence.

“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”.

I knew a thing like this will soon be made available. As long as it favors the north it will be made available. This has opened door for those northern brother witl solar system of less than 2MW and those igbo businesses operation in cluster.

It is far cheaper to power a diesel engine of 500kva or 2MW than have 1000 units of 2kva petrol gen

Industrial clusters and business hubs around the country will soon get a new lease of life upon completion of off-grid projects in locations around Lagos, Aba and Kano, BusinessDay has gathered.

The Rural Electrification Agency (REA) is supporting the construction of a 4MW off grid power plant for Shomolu printers in Lagos. The project is being handled by Total Support Energy, a clean energy company. Over 50,000 shops in Araria market will soon experience better power supply when the 7MW plant is completed.

Similarly, Sabon Gari market in Kano will experience better power when a solar power plant being built to serve the 11,000 stores there is completed. The state is also proposing a bill to ban generators in the market.

What is an ipob post without tribalism and bigotry even though the largest REA power projects to support industrial clusters like Over 50,000 shops in Araria market in Aba is in the SE, you ignorant bigots still managed to insert tribalism and bigotry..

It really doesn't matter what government efforts they conceived and carried out to better you people, you still can not dislodge your desire to sink yourself in the same tribalism and bigotry.

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!


Is this change of any use if the current distribution network still subsists?

You are are the one speaking from a position of ignorance, falsehood and arrogance. You first stated that NESCO is a govt agency in reply to @three. Its apparent you assumed so because of the corporation's name.

Can you show proof that NESCO is a govt agency? Will be waiting for your reply. You cannot bully everyone here with that thuggish attitude.
