The persistent electricity metering gap

Minister of Power, Saleh Mamman. Photo: TWITTER/POWERMINNIGERIA Indications that a huge metering gap still exists despite the recent launch of the mass metering programme of electricity consumers is worrisome for its inconvenience and exploitative impact on hapless consumers. The situation clearly signposts an endemic character of metering problem, coupled with the lack of enthusiasm of electricity distribution companies to address the problem headlong. So far, government’s direct and indirect measures to tackle the issue has had very little impact due to failure of the DISCOs to complement them; and it is becoming clear that unless the government adopts more stringent measures, the average Nigerian will continue to bear the brunt of fraudulent electricity billings.

Power minister: Why FG reduced Mambilla power project from 3,500mw to 1,500

Mamman said this on Tuesday when he appeared before the senate committee on power. Advertisement He said the project capacity was adjusted to 1,500 megawatts to conform with current market realities and for lenders to accept it. “We discovered that the 3050 megawatts is not visible. We have sent officials to China to review the project, and the memo is on the table of Mr President waiting for approval,” he said. “The idea is to make it bankable. The market that we are operating in today in Nigeria is different from the market operated when the Mambilla project was conceived.

Most of the issues around the Mambilla power plant are on the bankability of the project. What we did was to redesign the project to be bankable and acceptable to the lenders.”
