The cost of a poor power supply to the economy is colossal. There is and enormous devastating impact on investment returns and there is a huge discomfort impact on households as well. Together, one could estimate the productivity loss to the economy at 10 per cent of the nation’s GDP (Gross Domestic Product), which amounts to over N10tn annually.
There are direct losses to investors in the form of erosion of profit margins, outright business failure, resulting from prohibitive production and operating cost, competitiveness problems, loss of market share and many more. There is also a profound welfare effect on citizens. High energy cost increases the cost of goods and services produced locally, which drives costs and pushes inflation. High cost implies higher prices, which reduces the value of the real income of citizens, erodes purchasing power of the citizens and invariably undermines the welfare of the people. It also aggravates the poverty scale in the country.
Many factories have been turned into warehouses for imported finished goods on account of competitive challenges faced by home industrialists owing to high energy cost and other business environment issues.
These reasons and many more brought about the establishment of one Nigeria’s premier brand in the energy solution sector, HFGC, also known as indigenous automatic synchronising panels builders.
A few days ago, the Oyo State government proposed to spend N108 billion to stop persistent energy changes and provide clean energy solution. An emphasis on the importance of energy solution.
“To solve its persistent power supply challenges and provide clean energy solution to fast track development, Nigeria is on the verge of securing N108b from investors.
Oyo State governor, Seyi Makinde, who acknowledged the potential of solar energy as a viable solution to the country’s power problem, said it is the future of business and the nation’s climate is suitable for it. The governor made the remark while receiving representatives of a United State (US) based company, Triton Solar, in Ibadan, Oyo State. The governor assured of his administration’s commitment to boosting power generation in the country and pled support for the establishment of a solar plant in the state.” The Guardian reported.
