BotherMleeper: You think I don't know thieving DISCOS reject 70 percent of the electricity wheeled their way and deliberately stall the mass installation of meters just so they can continue selling darkness and making unaccountable money and declaring only the little the accept from Gencos .... If they have nothing to hide then why are they panicking about small audit ....you and I know they are bluffing about leaving , they can never leave the business of selling one KWH of darkness for 59 naira .

These bastards are pulling out because of compulsory/mass metering. Thieves |

BotherMleeper:No one forced them to buy it, if not greed, when the likes of Eskom, ABB, Siemens did not show interest they should have suspected foul play? FG should have sold the power infrastructure for 100 Naira & let the real investors take charge, not quacks like Bedc (Funke Osibudu) & Co. that went and took loans at high interest to acquire toxic assets. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Government should take over the Electricity Nepa is better than what we are witnessing from this sheep's in goat clothing .No light yet you will pay Electricity bill that's why you will spend your last card to get prepaid meter , it's only in Nigeria that you will travel different states to get prepaid meter Las Las they will direct you to Abuja after they have got enough money and frustrated your life because of prepaid is this not fraud . they will sit in their offices and estimate high bills yet knowing fully well that they aren't giving Electricity. Please Egypt is better than Pakistan Enough of their wickedness. 4 Likes 1 Share |

favor914: That's faulty reasoning. Every investment is a risk, but the problem here is government is not really supporting the sector, yet they want the investors to perform miracles in 7 years the government itself could not perform in more than 40. |

BotherMleeper:A bad tree can never yield good fruits, all these so called Electricity & Distribution Companies used Nigeria as their testing ground, no prior experience anywhere in Nigeria, let alone the world? I remember Lagos State had a deal with Enron over some electricity project that went bust in the early 2000, before Enron itself went bankrupt? The people that pdp & Jonathan sold the commonwealth to are quacks, with no funds, or expertise to do anything, even Togo Electricity Company, or Ghana Electricity would have done a better job a 100x over. Like I said no one forced them to buy the assets if not greed. 1 Like 1 Share |

BotherMleeper:months after Nigeria sold her electricity assets Mexico did something similar, the caliber of interested parties was quite different. Two years ago, the Mexican government passed a law that required the deregulation of the energy industry, a process that officially started at the beginning of this year. The reform forces the electricity market within the country to open up energy generation and distribution to competition. This will allow more developers to enter the market who can sell electricity to Electric Service Providers (ESPs) in addition to the Federal Electricity Commission. In Mexico, the energy deregulation changes (and more) will ultimately allow private investment in areas including, refining, transport, exploration, extraction, storage and distribution and help to better commercialize electricity. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.electricchoice.com/blog/energy-reform-mexico/amp/ |

Thieving discos many saw discoship as an opportunity to loot money from govt and customers. They did not improve the value chain, no investment in critical infrastructure always claiming consumers and govt. They shud be audited ASAP. 3 Likes 1 Share |

oz4real83: Kikero , I believe this topic should interest you,your post on the Naija electricity matter lack a certain amount of depth Discos are worried over the recent plans to ring fence their accounts to enable a better remittance to Nbet and gencos and now are pulling this trick, |
Re: Electricity: Uncertainty, As Discos Bid To Pull Out by Nobody: 7:49pm On Sep 07, 2020 |
donguutti: Because it would in essence handicap them seriously. They would be forced to surrender most of their earnings to pay off their debts In other words, their debt repayment just got raised so to speak. |

I work as a plant operator in a power generation company. Would u believe that NCC will tell the power generation company that they are receiving too much megawatt? And they'll be complaining that we are not generating enough power 3 Likes 2 Shares |
Re: Electricity: Uncertainty, As Discos Bid To Pull Out by donguutti: 8:16pm On Sep 07, 2020 |
kikero: Not their earnings, remittance for gencos, reading through the pwc report you refered to discos bill collection rate of 65% percent but rmit only 28% due to Nbet and gencos Going by the myto formula only about 40-45 percent of tariff goes to distribution, the rest is for gencos, tcn, nbet Thus by gouging on money due to others, they create imbalance in the market. Do you know why ikeja disco and egbin power are ranked highest in disco and Genco. Apologies for the errors in the previous posts |

Re: Electricity: Uncertainty, As Discos Bid To Pull Out by Nobody: 8:21pm On Sep 07, 2020 |
donguutti: And all that happens because discos were forced to charge below the production cost of power in the first place Or they were charging tarrifs that weren't cost reflective Once that happens, then add the fact that many people don't even pay the bills, illicit practices happen like you said |
Re: Electricity: Uncertainty, As Discos Bid To Pull Out by kokomilala(m): 8:29pm On Sep 07, 2020 |
Good news if they go. I was following the privatization process about 6 yrs ago. But the moment I saw Nigerian interests coming forward, I knew it would head for the rocks. I stopped following it. These discos haven't got the technical capacity like Siemens and General Electric and others to run power companies. Are they stupid? Didn't they evaluate the scraps they bought as transmission lines and other obsolete facilities? But they knew Nigerians would pay for their stupidity, that's why they went ahead. If government owes 40 percent stakes in the discos, doesn't the government have a say in how they're being run? And why are they afraid of forensic auditing? I pray and hope they pull out so that real investors who would invest in the sector and provide the technical capacity to bridge the gap in the power infrastructure would come in. 2 Likes |

kokomilala: No real investor will invest properly in power when the cost is not reflective. No magic can cause that. Same way there can't be any investment in refining. I really wonder how many people doing business here give away their products below cost price, but you want others to do the same. When we do things right, we get the right results. Government in nigeria is the most incompetent organisation in nigeria. Totally clueless about the implications of what they are signing as we have seen with P&ID, Azura Power, and many others . Soon after Siemens does the work, they will now start saying they didn't know the agreement said we will pay them for next 10years. Then Siemens will go to court, win the case then you people will say Siemens and German government want to enslave nigeria. 1 Like 1 Share |

favor914: Not sure any of those you mentioned would come to invest in Nigeria considering how corrupt we are, how we fail to honour agreements, how our currency depreciates daily, how we vilify those repatriating their hard earned dividend back home. Funny enough, if they had actually come and the situation remained the same, the same Nigerians would have been saying they should go and let the FG give local investors. We Nigerians have no clue what we really want. We just always want the opposite of what is on ground. Meanwhile the common factor when things don't work in Nigeria is always our INCOMPETENT GOVERNMENT!! 3 Likes 1 Share |
