nanizle:How bro? I do not know where you got that 7000MW from but know that actual energy generated differs from generating capacity. Since energy cannot be stored, if the DISCOs distribute far below what they got from the grid as you have suggested, it is their own loss because they have to pay for a service they are not selling. Most of the DISCOs have expressed their willingness to exit the system time and time again, should government be ready to refund a part of their investments in the sector. The government is still the biggest bottleneck of the Power sector. But then again, they seem helpless. The only policies that can palcate the rot in the Energy sector, if enacted, will seem anti-people. |

ah bedc must go o..like in my mind they re gone already. .For years now we have been having just 6hours light everyday that's if it comes at all..but at the end of the month they will bring bill and you wonder how you consume that much..funke or what ever her name is, has got to go..We re tired.. 2 Likes |

nanizle:You would have been right except you missed the wheeling capacity of TCN which is roughly 5GW(even that is a doubt now as some section of the grid are not adequately maintained) Furthermore, generating capacity is far different from generated energy due to constraints. The major constraint is usually gas which keeps quite a number of our gas turbines idle. By the way, if the gencos generates and tcn wheels out, the discos have to distribute or the system collapse(EE guys can confirm this). Plus they pay for the idle capacity too. 1 Like |
Re: Protest Against BEDC In Benin By Native Doctors, Others (Photos) by nanizle(m): 7:42pm On Oct 29, 2018 |
Preator: TCN is actually trying. They are working on their transmission capacity. I think it should be around 5000 - 6000MW. Discos haven't done anything significant to increase their distribution capacity. Nothing at all. Nothing! |
Re: Protest Against BEDC In Benin By Native Doctors, Others (Photos) by Preator: 7:48pm On Oct 29, 2018 |
nanizle: I would have agreed but I am an insider. The discos are quite poor and have no clue about what they are running. A disco gets a bill of 8billion monthly from NBET(excluding interest charges) but only collects roughly 4.2billion from customers. They pay NBET just 2.5billion and keep the rest. Out of 1.5, they have a labour and mtce fee of roughly 1billion. That leaves just 500m for expanding the network. Its not enough. |

Re: Protest Against BEDC In Benin By Native Doctors, Others (Photos) by nanizle(m): 8:02pm On Oct 29, 2018 |
Nevee: Let me give you an example. TCN says 'Disco A' should take 700MW and distribute/sell to customers. 'Disco A' says no and takes only 300MW (load rejection), intentionally leaving many other customers without power. One common ridiculous and unacceptable reason for this load rejection is 'they can't collect the bill for 700MW' from customers. Same discos that intentionally won't give customers prepaid meters. Discos are not ready to do real electricity business in Nigeria. They are just profiting from a broken system via estimated billing with apparently no intention to improve their network and capacity. 2 Likes |

Preator: So we can all agree that no one should expect any significant improvement in power supply in Nigeria as long as we have same set of discos. You are right. Discos are clueless about the business and I'm guessing you already know why. Like really? Who buys a disco without knowing what's on ground and what's required to make it run? |

Preator: The discos refuse to distribute energy even when available to reduce load, therefore forcing generation to shut down turbines.... The way they load shed these days is majorly for this purpose. Since they couldn't improve thier ATC & C losses.. Thats the only way to go... Nigeria can never have light with this operating system |

nanizle: Meters aren't the problem cos bypassing is paramount with nigerians.... The load rejection is the main thing, cos if u give meter and reject load, u lose both ways.... |

baliyubla:The truth be told, BEDC are not performing well at all. I had seen complains from on this forum about them. I wonder how come other distribution companies are doing better in terms of delivery. |
Re: Protest Against BEDC In Benin By Native Doctors, Others (Photos) by Jesuschild: 8:28pm On Oct 29, 2018 |
[quote author=baliyubla post=72512133]Their protest should be against the minister of Darkness Fashola, as BEDC and other distribution companies in Nigeria only distribute what has been generated and transmitted to them. What sector is even working under this government of the dullard? The major problem ain't generation of power right now but distribution. DISCO's are to procure the energy required and distribute/sell to the final consumers but get as low as they can ration and throw estimated bill around to citizens who don't know they have a right for what they consume and pay for |
Re: Protest Against BEDC In Benin By Native Doctors, Others (Photos) by Erums(m): 8:28pm On Oct 29, 2018 |
Preator: Only the ignorant believes that... Discos have even gone as far as placing isolators on 33kv feeders.... They now load shed 33kv...and if that's load shredded.. Whats the fate of the majority on 11kv feeders... Such a pity |
