The document describes an online energy course for Nigerian high school students that addresses problems with Nigeria's power supply. Key issues include insufficient power generation, low transmission capacity below 6,000 MW, and a radial transmission network without redundancies. Suggestions to remedy these problems involve tapping into renewable sources like solar and wind, expanding transmission infrastructure, and increasing gas-fired power plant capacity in the short-term. The course activity will involve watching a video on how Nigeria's insufficient electricity is impacting businesses.

2. Problems of Nigeria’s power supply

3. Problems of Nigeria’s power supply
• Insufficient power generation
• Low transmission capability < 6,000 MW
• No redundancies on transmission network (radial
network)
• High technical losses (Transmission loss is ~9 %)
• Obsolete transmission facilities
• Low infrastructural coverage
• Equipment failures
• Obsolete substation equipments
• Voltage variations

4. Suggestions
• Tap renewables (solar and wind)
• Look into coal and hydro
• Expand transmission network
• Build interconnections with neighboring
countries for power exchange
• Build more gas-fired plants (short-term)
• Create subsidies for renewables

5. Activity
• Video (How Nigeria’s insufficient power supply
is affecting their businesses)
