Solar Hybrid Mini-Grid: REA Electrifies Ogun State Community After 200 Years by Ravon: 12:29pm On Nov 29, 2020
It was the turn of the indigenes of Olooji community, Ijebu-East, Ogun state. The Rural Electrification Agency (REA) delivered a 100kWp Solar Hybrid Mini-Grid designed to adequately serve this off-grid community in Ogun state.

With amazing landscape and welcoming indigenes, Olooji community is actually located 60Km off the city, into the forest reserve of Ogun State.

This intervention was successfully delivered under the Federal Government of Nigeria’s Rural Electrification Fund (REF). The Executive Director, REF, Sanusi Ohiare encouraged the indigenes to optimise the impact of this intervention while using this access to clean, safe and reliable energy productively.

The MD/CEO of REA, Ahmad Salihijo, while sharing his remarks, explained to the community members that he strongly believes that the quality of lives will be improved and children will have better learning experiences with access to reliable electricity in Olooji community.

While thanking our Host, Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun for his support and encouragement, and commended the community for their cooperation with the REA team and the Mini-Grid developer, ACOB Lighting Technology Limited.

Hon Commissioner, Rural Development Engr. Oludotun Taiwo, representing His Excellency, Dapo Abiodun, Governor of Ogun State, officially handed over the intervention to the Olooji Community, which was also witnessed by HRH Oba A. A Oguntayo, Ajalorun of Ijebu-Ife land.

Nigerian government will never stop amazing people; you celebrate or commission 100KW of electricity.

100KW electricity can only be use by 20 houses that consume 5KW hour or by 10 houses that consume 10KW house.

5KW if they have 1 fridge that start with 2Kw and run on 200W, 1 electric kettle that run on 1.2KW, rice cooker 800w, TV and fan with bulb’s have to share remaining 1KW.

If for 10 houses that means houses with 1 fridge that start with 2Kw and run on 200W, 1 electric kettle that run on 1.2KW, rice cooker 800w, 1 deep or standing freezer that start with 3KW, 1 and half horse power splint unity air-conditions 3.5KW, TV and fan with bulb’s have to share remaining.

But here they set this 100KW solar electricity for a community with not less than 100 houses with 3 rooms in each house, plus semi industries such as garri companies and others.

And this is what a government can provide for a community with millions if not billion naira, 100KW is not enough for some house with enough electrical gadgets how much more a community.

That’s why we always hear power grid of here and there because the power company don’t estimate if what they supply can be enough or not, and people don’t care to know how much supply that come to their district all they know is that there’s light. And as soon the transformer carries above rated load it will break off.

The same will happens to this solar as soon it carried over load and the batteries discharge 85% of it power it will trip off until it recharge full again and ready to supply.

By the time everyone in and around this community connect up to 80 to hundred house to share 100KW what do you think that will happens? It will lead to battery damage whether is life4pon or lithium, lithium ion batteries. Nigerian government enjoy half baked project to siphon money.

Anyway with 150% of money use to build this 100KW solar to this community, I can use 150% of the money to provide 2MW of 24/7 electricity to the community for 25 years guarantee of stable light and return back in next 25 years to service it for another 25 years stable light supply.

This 2MW will serve 200 houses with 10KW per house or 400 houses with 5KW per house, no need to connect more than numbers of this house unless there’s increase in the MW. You don’t just connect light because there’s wire with current without knowing budget load of that district.

With our clean energy power plant you will enjoy your 24/7 light, and production companies, hotels, churches and residential home can be at peace knowing they are not spending penny on gas. Serve better than solar because it carries heavy duty electrical appliances.

Your calculations is not right bros, becos u don't no d conditions giving to the end users that will have access to the power. Actually 100 houses can share 100kw, 50 houses can share 100kw, 20 houses can share 100kw...... This loads can be restricted to each household using prepaid meters(for solar power), for example each household will only be capped at 1kw daily.... With this daily cap.... The users knows how to regulate their loads themselves... The only way this 100kw systems will breakdown is if the household is not restricted... I guess u r an installer so am I, I have done an Installation in one big hostel at yabatek housing 50 self contains rooms, 50kw power systems was use on this project, and we installed meters restricted to 1kw per each apartment daily.... Dis users r been thought on how to economize this small power daily and anyone that roughly uses his 1kw, his power will authomatically cut off, until the next day.

You're right on regulating the meter for 1KW daily, but that's very poor because it doesn't solve electricity needs if single room with 1 tv that consume 150watts per hour, celling fan 50watts, standard fridge start rate 2kw before return to 200watts.

It's only manage for 25 to 40watts bulbs, charging phone of 5watts per hour, just for mini electricals.

How can a government provide 100kw for community and believe they archive something.

The 1kw regulations as you caculates can serve the people but doesn't solve their electricity needs.

A mini standard room consume 6kw in a 24h , standard fridge run 24 hours on 200watts per hour,100w tv run for 6 hours, 50w celling fan run for 12 hours, 5watts phone charge for 6 hours, caculates and see that 1Kw per a day doesn't solve anything. This is 2020 not 1970.

Our government is disgrace to development.

Oga, appreciate the little they are doing, after all, your Poverty Development Party did not give them even half kW in sixteen years. The locals are happy, you're crying on their behalf.

I swear, it's well.... Maybe them go warn the users to go put 5w bulbs for house, dey use 48" tv wen b 50w,.... Who knows.... And if u hear d amount d government would say dey spent on this project now, even the installer I charge go faint..... Becos na only 10% at most reach him hand.... Lolz.....

They usually install prepaid meters in all the houses wherever such a project is situated. You are very correct with your analysis.
