Kitu nimeshangaa leo ni kuwa minister wa Tanzania amewekea Nigeria kitu yenye hata hao wenyewe hawajui 😂 😂 😂 ichoboy01 did you say Nigeria had 72% rural electrification?🤣🤣🤣
The weekend read: Expand and connect
Almost 60% of Nigeria’s population currently has access to electricity. But this breaks down as 78% in cities and urban areas, and just 39% in rural communities. The Rural Electrification Agency (REA), established by the government as part of electricity sector reforms in 2005, is tasked with bridging this gap and bringing reliable energy supply to the most remote parts of Nigeria. pv magazine spoke with REA CEO Ahmad Salihijo Ahmad about the organization’s strategy and recent progress, as well as the challenges that remain for rural electrification in Nigeria and the role of PV technology.

How is rural electrification progressing in Nigeria? I see REA published a target to reach 60% rural electrification and connect 1.1 million households annually by 2020 – do you expect to achieve this?
REA has installed significant grid infrastructure to support licensed distribution companies in meeting their expansion plans in rural communities. To supplement the grid expansion projects, REA, through its Rural Electrification Fund and the Nigeria Electrification Project, has secured investment funds and partnered with the private sector toward rapidly connecting millions of households and businesses through the development of minigrids, power plants, and the deployment of standalone systems.
REA has achieved significant progress in providing rural electrification, with 103,500 villages connections as of December 2019. Reaching the 60% rural electrification target however, has been prevented by a number of factors, including the Covid-19 pandemic, access to sufficient funds, and the need to adhere to due process – like obtaining essential regulatory approvals. With new management on board and a new line up of impactful projects in the pipeline, REA now expects to exceed the goals previously set.
How does rural electrification fit in with Nigeria’s broader energy strategy?
Only 58% of Nigerians have access to electricity, with 78% access in urban areas and 39% in rural areas. Furthermore, an estimated 80% of those with access also use an alternative source of electricity supply, mostly diesel generators, due to reliability concerns. Nigeria currently has available grid power hovering around 4,000 MW for over 190 million people. It is estimated that the Nigerian economy loses $29.3 billion annually due to a lack of adequate power supply, and is estimated to have lost $470 billion in GDP since 2000 due to under-investment in power infrastructure.
Ndege inakuja tena kwa haraka, hilo sina mashaka nalo. Biashara ni kubwa sana ya mzigo, lake zone pekee inaweza kujaza ndege, hapo bado avos na horticultures za Southern Highlands, cashews, horticultures and avos za Northern zone, the business is way lucrative
Ndege lazima uagize rasmi kutoka boeing au Airbus na itachukua zaidi ya miaka mitatu kupanga laini na ujenzi wenyewe. Sasa kama mna haraka the only option ni kulease cargo planes.
Nimeamua niende kwa Website ya World Bank na sio tweet ya wasiojielewa. Hiyo ya 2018 ndio latest update ya World Bank, hawajaweka ya 2019 which they will update to 21,000km.

joto la jiweNaton JrThe best 007ichoboy01 ndio hii official report kutoka World Bank na inasema kuwa Kenya ilikuwa na 18,500 km za highway in 2018. Someni hio report iliyowekwa na WB na Teargass
32.5% of your whole power supply is from imported fossils, Tanzania tulishaacha nao sababu ni ghali sana
Power profile yenu 👇👇👇👇
This generation energy mix comprises 52.1% from hydro, 32.5% from fossil fuels, 13.2% from geothermal, 1.8% from biogas cogeneration and 0.4% from wind, respectively. Current electricity demand is 1,600 MW and is projected to grow to 2,600-3600 MW by 2020.Sep 24, 2020

Sasa usikubali waruke. Washikilie kabisa hadi wakubali. Coz hata ile ya 2017 ya 11,000 ilikuwa ya WB. So they don't have any basis to reject this one. Both reports are from the same body.
Hahahaha yaani kweli mpo desperately, the quoted statement from the Clueless Jubilee slave, tena kasema designated stretch ndio umefanya official WB statement? 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Geothermal energy si fossil fuel! Tatizo walilonalo ni jinsi hiyo miradi yao ya renewables ilivyokuwa-procured (wamegongwa kama kawa) yaani inaondoa unafuu wa hata renewables kuwa nafuu kama inavyotakiwa!
Yaani kama GoK ingetenga fedha yenyewe na kujenga hiyo mitambo ya Geothermal kwa kuajiri contractor umeme ungekuwa rahisi zaidi kuliko kuachia makampuni ya kimagharibi yanayotafuta faida kuja kuzalisha umeme na kuuzia Kenpower!
Geothermal energy is thermal energy coming from deep down the earth. It is thermal energy. But what matters is the context in which the word "thermal power is used". In Kenya we use the word thermal power to refer to diesel generated electricity. That is how Kenya power refers to electricity generated by diesel. Sasa unaeza kubali kuwa hivyo ndivyo Kenya power inavyoita diesel power ama ukatae

Sasa mbona unekuwa uki-imply geothermal energy si thermal? Umejibu baada ya kuingia google search sio? FYI u r wrong if u imply thermal energy to be only from diesel in Kenya may be if u imply direct thermal! Any power generation from a conversion of heat energy to electric energy is thermal! That means all power from solar, coal, geothermal, steam, diesel n gas is thermal! where windpower is not as kinetic energy is converted to electric energy! Mind u renewable source can be thermal also!
BTW why is gas energy considered renewable while comes from fossil fuel?
Hahahaha that's QUOTE from WB project benefitiary, na statement yake haina uhusiano wowote na WB sababu ni quoted statement na hata hiyo statement haisemi paved roads, inasema designated stretch haijulikani ni stretch ya mavi ya ng'ombe au ya ngedere 😂😂😂😂😂
