Servus und hallo Gemeinde,brbres ist schön zu sehen, daß auch in Nigeria Solarenergie langsam fahrt aufnimmt Ja es ist ein Problem, das eine erhebliche Anfangsinvestition dafür nötig istbrbrWir haben uns ein Balkonkraftwerk gekauft mit Wechselrichter und Gestell für nur 350 € Das zahlt sich durch den eingesparten (nicht gekauften) Strom nach nicht einmal vier Jahren abbrbrAuch in Nigeria geht die Solarenergie von der Bürgerhand aus

China is doing what Europe should have done Making clean energy soo cheap that poor countries can skip using fossil fuels
Comment from : @andresgarciacastro1783

I remember going back home to Nigeria for the first time since I left This was maybe back in 2010 I saw something that bothered me so much It was a singular street light on a dark road and it was connected to 1 small yahama generator That blew my mind 1 generator powering just 1 street light while the others were dark In a country that had so much sun, why aren't they using solar power? The biggest challenge I thought was making it cost effective for the poorest Nigerian and surviving the clash with the groups of people in control of NEPA
Comment from : @nnamdiobiako5773

Perhaps some communities will be able to sell back excess energy to an updated grid one day That would be a transformational change to make solar cheaper for residents, and cheaper for the state than fully upgrading/expanding the grid

Sun and wind are way to go for power across the globe,still it’s untapped

last mich raten, weil putins wagner söldner auch da wieder winen krieg ausgelöst haben? und wem gehören die uranmienen grösstenteils? Rosatom oder kazatomprom????brbrnotfalls verschachtelt😂😂😂😂
Comment from : @FJStraußinger

7:26 "generators account for 15000 MW of power" 15GW from generators? Is that really right? She said earlier (1:42) that the city only has 1GW total (from the grid) There is 15 times as much from generators? 16GW for 25 million people would be UK levels of electricity production, and I'd expect it to be less over there Maybe that's 'peak generator' and they are not all used at once?
Comment from : @xxwookey

Nothing romantic about generators 😢

Thanks for cheap solar panels from China

"The fuel subsidy is gone"brPeople clapped only to wake up next day and notice the price had quadrupled br🤣🤣🤣brMugus
Comment from : @horsemouthjones9060

How does a country that sells oip have energy shortage though? They are inly supposed to he selling the extra after they take what they needbrbrOr is it an issue with transmission?
Comment from : @wayando

All these developing nations claiming they need fossil fuels are in cloud cuckoo land, don’t make the same mistakes we made here in the west, get straight to renewables! It’s a no brainer!!

I'm a Cameroonian but analysing the comment section I can assume that only a hand full of Nigerians / Africans watched this video If it was some sort of cemedy you'll see millions of us watching but since it's educational only few of us are here Big shout-out to Bloomberg team for this documentary
Comment from : @thewantedbullofwallstreet

Most honest foreign reporting I've watched about us here in Lagos-Nigeria The only thing she got wrong most likely due to being bribed is the Solar Company we're mostly using here for off-grid isn't Nigerian but Chinese! I personally went to the Chinese Company - Fidelity to go off-grid & unlike the Nigerian Coy you're showing, they go out of stock quick! Everybody is buying from there & the Chinese who have better & cheaper products! Your Ibukun was lazy in her reportings Bloomberg
Comment from : @mrobinson

The solutions are there Its just that the political will isn't and usually because of corruptions

Solar will fix the power issues

ALLPOWERS Portable Power Station R600 runs for 260€ It needs a 300W Solar panel Cheaper than EPever components separately :)brNice that you are going solar PV :)

If even Gazan use solar panelsbrNigerian using it doesn't seems too weird anymore

Comment from : @briyxe

Nigeria and electricity in the same sentence is laughable We Nigerians have become like nocturnal animals that we see in the dark now better than in the day
Comment from : @youme1414

nice video very informative
Comment from : @vlexus

What about solar subsidies by the Nigerian government? or IMF/World Bank loans for green energy?
Comment from : @SrikarKura

If you like this video, google solarpunk You’re welcome
Comment from : @treehuggerjohn

3:20 that wire crimping hurts my brain :D
Comment from : @blackkissi

Why didn't the government move these energy subsidies towards the solar market?
Comment from : @_DRMR_

Holy ****! people should be flocking to fill this market gap, a country with that much reliable sun, with that much need, with that much space for growth, It's really just missing financing solutions This should be a solar rush for companies around the world

Nigeria: oil country, Lagos 2000 sunshine hours Germany, no oil, 1600 sunshine hours There really shouldn't be power shortages in Nigeria This problem should have been solved years ago

Comment from : @biafra13743

Solar panel will be very useful in a hot country like Nigeria you know Its all sun during the day so imagine how much power it can get from that
Comment from : @samphyrz

Vietnam has more micro generation than its grid can fully cope with ATM
Comment from : @fungsealoon

Very cool! I assume that a small battery is included to provide power for lighting and appliances after sundown?
Comment from : @stennan

Its a shame us energy goals are forced apon developeing nations, democrats hold back funding for contrys if they build coal or gas plants, we should previde blueprints and capture devices for clean natural gass,coal,and gass powerplant Instead we hold funds hostage if contrys build their own infistructure
Comment from : @smedspets695

Ethiopia is ahead of Nigeria in solar power Nigeria is a day late and money short
Comment from : @sterlingferguson1704

Coincidentally, Pakistan has almost same scenario as of Nigeria Likr nigeria l, it has unreliable Power supply, long hours of power outages and load-shedding from corrupt Government owned utility companiesbrSimilarly, recently the care taker Government of Pakistan has withdrawn from giving the subsidy on natural gas brbrNow it is hard to bear for me to pay the 173 increased bill of Gas and run my Gasoline generator on such a high cost Nevertheless, i am going to buy solar panels next month🙂
Comment from : @AbdulQayoompalijo

And China being the largest manufacturer of Solar Panels is of course in the best position to take advantage of Nigeria's electricity woes much to the chagrin of the USA and its allies 😅🤨🙄🧐
Comment from : @jasonyau326

Fuel subsidies ended, price went way up…same thing will happen in North America, better get an electric car soon and solar panels Perfect solution ❤

Don’t try sugar coating our useless governments , we rely on people like you to call them out with the privilege you have not sugarcoat them , it’s the first day of December and till now way I Dey comment so , nepa no give us light on the 1st of a new month and last month for that matter
Comment from : @emmanuelsundayvictor2394

You’re mad bro , we can’t even get fuel in Lagos in Nigeria and you’re saying we are betting on solar Do you think the government are ready to give out any money to the Nigerian people ?
Comment from : @emmanuelsundayvictor2394

because some scammers can make money of it

Imagine the possibilities if the infrastructure over there was improved upon it’s absolutely mind blowing to me that it hasn’t already

Up nepa
Comment from : @Ošæs

6:06 if you build earthship buildings - houses with agricultural space, you can have smaller solar panels Energy requirements for a strawbale building are low and will keep you cool in African heat Natural buildings are less cost intensive as climate change isn’t going to spare anyone and insurance isn’t going to get cheaper All you can do is be well positioned for resilience

Solar energy has wiped the tears of many Nigerians battling with incessant power shortagebrI hope the govt would intervene by subsidizing the price of Solar panels and inverters, so that Nigeria can achieve it clean energy goals
Comment from : @siriusman6169

How much for that battery system that was shown?

Very well done report! Kudos to Ms Ibukun and the team
Comment from : @midnightfuture

Huge long term benefits compared to even western countries that are not even thinking of such transition
Comment from : @ProAdsSkipper

Puerto Rico is doing the same thing, the government is not helping a lot and people are getting their own solar equipment to their homes
