Third NSF Workshop on US-Africa Research and Education Collaboration Abuja, Nigeria, December 13-15, 2004 Generation, Consumption Pattern and Modeling of Electric Power Grid in Nigeria Musa Momoh Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto
Aims and Objectives • To give an overview of deteriorating power generation system • To give the implications of inaqeduate power supply for Nigeria by demonstrating the impact on industrial sector and in a general approach linking electricity consumption to the human development index status of the country • To give accurate predictions of future electric energy generation and consumption that may be made available to decision makers Third US-Africa Research and Education Collaboration Workshop Abuja, Nigeria, December 13-15, 2004
Study Approach • Use the simple least-squares estimation models in forecasting the growth of power generation and consumption in Nigeria • Study the impact of such a state on the nation Third US-Africa Research and Education Collaboration Workshop Abuja, Nigeria, December 13-15, 2004
Results • The energy generation and consumption are relatively inelastic • The predicted annual growth rate of power generation and consumption is 10:9 • Industrial sector is the least consumer of electric power generated by NEPA • Human development index is too low, about 0.43 Third US-Africa Research and Education Collaboration Workshop Abuja, Nigeria, December 13-15, 2004
Conclusions • GPD is declining • The ratio of the average annual growth rate of power generation and consumption in Nigeria is 10:9, indicating that any major decline in power generation due to technical or natural causes will have significant effect Third US-Africa Research and Education Collaboration Workshop Abuja, Nigeria, December 13-15, 2004
