Yes o. It has been Ekiti juju that improvised PHCN to the extent cables would not transmit electricity. O! Yes! My juju is working in Nigeria.

I'm ready to export it to Ghana and America. Except you all beg me or bribe me with trillions of dollar not Naira o.

Send the bribe to my personal account. Note it would not accept any amount less than N1 billion per transaction.

I'm waiting

Dear Ekitikete:
 
 
I want us to be minimally informed about electricity matters, so that we can ask the right questions on it, so I have provided some quick information below.
 
This is to counter all this KV/KVA confusion, and "juju" on a cable of Bolanle Bruce & co.!  For example, is it Ekiti juju that has prevented Nigeria from generating the required amount of electricity all of these years?  
Mba nu!
 
And this 132KV/33 KV substation being commissioned - we still need to be told its power rating, so that we can actually know what additional power is POTENTIALLY available to Ekiti State as a result; "potential" because power still has to GET to the substation!

Grid input

At the generating plants the energy is produced at a relatively low voltage between about 2.3 kV and 30 kV, depending on the size of the unit. The generator terminal voltage is then stepped up by the power station transformer to a higher voltage (115 kV to 765 kV AC, varying by country) for transmission over long distances.

Transmission

An electric power transmission system interconnects generators (where the electricity is produced) and loads (where the electricity is used) and generally provides multiple paths among them.Most transmission lines operate with three-phase alternating current (ac), with the standard frequency being 60 Hz in North America; in Europe, 50 Hz. The three-phase system has three sets of phase conductors. Long-distance energy transmission (typically greater than 400 miles, or 600 km) occasionally uses high-voltage direct-current (dc) HVDC lines; for undersea cables (typically longer than 30 miles, or 50 km); or for connecting two AC networks that are not synchronized.
 
The electric power system can be divided into the distribution, subtransmission, and transmission systems. Electricity is transmitted at high voltages (110 kV or above) to reduce the energy lost in long distance transmission. Transmission-level voltages are usually considered to be 110 kV and above. Lower voltages such as 66 kV and 33 kV are usually considered sub-transmission voltages but are occasionally used on long lines with light loads. Voltages less than 33 kV are usually used for distribution. Voltages above 230 kV are considered extra high voltage and require different designs compared to equipment used at lower voltages.
 
With operating voltages less than 34.5 kV, the distribution system carries energy from the local substation to individual households, using both overhead and underground lines. With operating voltages of 69-138 kV, the subtransmission system distributes energy within an entire district and regularly uses overhead lines. With operating voltage exceeding 230 kV, the transmission system interconnects generating stations and large substations located close to load centers by using overhead lines.
 
The power that an overhead  line can transport is limited by the line's electrical parameters. Voltage drop is the most important factor for distribution lines; where the line is supplied from only one end, the permitted voltage drop is about 5%.
 
Underground cables are divided into two categories: distribution cables (less than 69 kV) and high-voltage power-transmission cables (69–500 kV).
 
 
Transmission grid exit

At the substations, transformers reduce the voltage to a lower level for distribution to commercial and residential users. This distribution is accomplished with a combination of sub-transmission (33 kV to 115 kV) and distribution (3.3 to 25 kV). Finally, at the point of use, the energy is transformed to low voltage (varying by country and customer requirements
