Power Generation

Data obtained from the Federal Ministry of Power show that power generation in Nigeria dropped from a peak of 4,224.9MW on Sunday to 3,844.3MW by 6:00am on Monday.

Against the backdrop of this drop in power generation, the President, Nigeria Consumer Protection Network, Kunle Olubiyo said it was high time that the government reviewed the privatization of the sector.

November 1, 2021made it exactly eight years that the power sector was officially privatized and operators had stated that electricity on the grid on November 1, 2013 when the sector was privatized was around 3,400MW, meaning that the sector had been struggling with power generation and supply in the past eight years.

Commenting on the poor electricity production despite the privatisation of the sector, Olubiyo, said “Exactly eight years ago, the power sector was privatised and there was a paradigm shift from public sector-driven business model to a supposedly private sector driven business model.

“Taking a glossary look at the general performances of the power sector, the picture is fluid and toxic and there is little or nothing to celebrate. Today, after the distribution companies manage to pay the monthly salaries of staff there is usually no other money to invest in improving their networks.”

Olubiyo stated further that Nigeria had no accurate customer data, adding that this was conservatively put at between eight million to 12 million.

He said “Without credible data it will be difficult to plan and be taken seriously. Tariff is usually tied to customer data. Data is needed for mass meter roll out.”

According to the NCPN President, the post privatization bitter experiences of the end users of electricity in Nigeria have been reduced to scam of sort, and it seems to the end users that Nigerians have been sold a dummy.

Also commenting on the power situation in Nigeria recently, the Executive Secretary, Association of Power Generation Companies, Joy Ogaji lamented that in spite of privatization, power generation was slightly above 3,400MW.
