State of Power in Nigeria. Do you know: that Nigerian households and businesses spend about US$13 billion on fuelling standby power systems? Excluding acquisition and maintenance cost. Injecting same amount into generation could yield 10,000MW or more. Projected demand level for 2010 is 18,000 MW 2015 is 20,000MW Present generation is 4000 plus Per capita generation is about 24 Watts, not enough to power a bulb. While Brazils per capita generation is about 480 watts. Vision 20: 2020 estimates generation of minimum of 40,000MW by 2020? How do we address this issue collectively? Are we comfortable using standby generators, eroding our income and causing additional environmental problems? --Abdulkadir Al-Hassan. Alternative Energy Expert.
