This is what should have been done for years now but instead Buhari was paying GENCOS for the Electricity DISCOS reject to the tune of 700 billion annually...Once Discos are forced to receive every MW wheeled their way and pay for it they will be forced to give people metres and Electricity... The Nigerian Electricity deficit persists because the govt allowed the DISCOs to sell Darkness and profit heavily off it and as long as they could get away with selling darkness there is no way they will be interested in selling Electricity ..For depth the DISCOs were rejecting an average of 75 percent of the Electricity wheeled their way annually.

The govt must be prepared to fight them because like drug dealers used to a profit they won't give up easily ...expect them to sabotage the grid soon and claim system failure caused by over supply .when that happens the DSS should immediately move and arrest all directors of operations of the DISCOS

And the discos were.distributing darkness because until last week, they were selling power at 30 naira per kWh and less, while it cost 53 naira per kWh to produce said power.

All the discos have been running at a loss since inception because we don't want to run them as private companies.

Also, in many areas, between 40-50 percent of subscribers to the discos don't pay their bills. Nationally it is 60 percent

I know Nigerians complain about darkness. But the thing is, the discos and gencos inherited a wrecked sector. And it is going to take a lot of money to fix things.

But we Nigerians want them to build our power sector for us free of charge.

Remember GSM. It used to be very expensive. Because the GSM companies had to build our whole infrastructure from scratch. Nitel was to messed up to produce backbone for basic GSM calls .

The problem I have with Nigerians and electrical power is , we refuse to acknowledge that it is expensive, and it has to be paid from our pockets.

We all paid for GSM . See where we are now

And then there is the phenomenon of bypassing the meter

(It happens)

I still don't get why you think the DISCOs are running at a loss .. What's the DISCOS concern with how much a MW of Electricity produced , that's the problem of GENCOS not discos ..Are the DISCOs saying they are buying one KWH at 53naira from the Gencos ? That's a huge lie ..If anybody should be claiming a loss it's the GENCOS who sell cheap to the DISCOs and the DISCOS end up rejecting 70 percent of what is produced the Federal govt makes up for this by paying the GENCOS for every cost disparity and rejected energy .. See I have studied the system to the core and DISCOs have no valid reason for rejecting Electricity and denying people metre because the donut deliberately so they can sell darkness and make unaccountable profits ...Ask yourself why discos are hell bent that nobody must audit their books

kikero:
Well, they would make the discos more broke then

The truth is, you cannot understand Nigeria's electricity problem without first knowing that the cost of power in Nigeria is less than the production cost.

Even with this recent price increase, a lot of people are still exempted from the thing, then there are the power thieves and those who don't pay

Once you get that, and you also get that gencos have to pay for gas in dollars, not naira, and they have to source for dollars from the open market because the parsimonious CBN won't give then dollars, then you would see why NERC s idea is stark bonkers

Either we run electricity as a proper market, where discos and gencos control the price, and end this NBET illusion, or we are never going to have light 24/7

And Nigerians have to pay their power bills. The problems we have with power are compounded by the large number of people who don't pay up

GamalNasser:
Shebi there is no subsidy again so what are you saying ? And besides the cost of generation lies with GENCOS who have been doing their jobs and not complaining so I wonder why a reseller called DISCO is worried about the cost when all they have to do is sell at a mark up

This is a sector that is was and is being ruled by witches and wizards according to a former minister of power.

Nitah1:
Someone will see light less than seven days a month and the bill will keep climbing.



If you don't pay they removed ur ways,if you pay they will say you pay small.



But if them failed to give light nothing happens to them.
