Elon Musk To Use Tesla Powerwall In Disrupting Utility Companies Like PHCN In Nigeria, Inefficient For Over 60 Years
The Oasis Reporters

Nigeria’s Power Holding Company, an Electricity generation and distribution company is about to receive a big shock in its life like never before, and this time, the thunderbolt of the massive shock is likely to lay it to rest beside NITEL, the dead and buried telecommunications company which never rose again.
Most Nigerian utilities companies are riddled with mind boggling inefficiencies and unfathomable corruption, believing that change would never come and their entitlement syndrome would last for ever.
Unfortunately for them, Elon Musk was born and raised in South Africa but became an American in his adult life.
He’s changing things and because of his ingenuity and smart engineering, NITEL would never resurrect from the grave in the burial ground of corruption and inefficiency. Nigeria’s Power Holding Companies, is slated to follow suit soon.
“These will make a big difference around the world. With a Powerwall, your home or business has guaranteed continuous power during utility blackouts or brownouts.
Add solar to your roof and/or nearby ground and you can operate off grid”.
Being Off-grid means that the regime of “national grid collapse”, the new and latest term for unfathomable corruption and inefficiency that has been bleeding Nigeria while extorting money to fund the greed of the officials of the system is about to end soon.
“Add Starlink and you can operate your home with no wires at all”, the notice adds.
Lewis Withrow (LB) says that
“The Powerwall team is doing lifesaving work. Hurricane Milton took down our grid for 2 1/2 days (62hrs). Our batteries never got below 42%. We did wait until afternoon to be sure the sun made plenty of electricity for us to run the dryer and charge the car”.
Rick Rogers @rrogerr76 adds further that he has a “12Kw solar system on my roof and four Powerwalls in my basement, and they are the real deal. I love them”.
And here’s the explainer from George
@realgeorgie:
“Did you know a single Powerwall can store enough energy to power your fridge for a full day? That’s a lot of ice cream or not!”

Lawrence 4.68e+3 @Avatrode sends his Congratulations to #Tesla Powerwall ! :
“One Thousand in one day…. The number of houses in the US is 145 million … 175,000 Power Walls are being used … A way to go but great progress!
Salar Khalid:
Huge congratulations to the Tesla Nevada team for an incredible achievement – building 1,000 Powerwalls in a single day!
This accomplishment showcases the dedication, innovation, and hard work of the Tesla Powerwall team.
Each Powerwall produced will make a huge difference in the lives of people worldwide, bringing stability and security during power outages.
Imagine this: with a Powerwall, your home or business can stay powered up even during utility blackouts and brownouts. No more worries about sudden power losses or grid disruptions – you’re covered, no matter what.
And it doesn’t stop there! Add solar panels to your roof or even a nearby ground system, and you’re set to go off-grid. Harness the sun’s energy and enjoy true energy independence!
And if you add Starlink, you can operate your entire home without any traditional wires! Complete independence, total peace of mind – all thanks to these innovative technologies.
This is the future of energy, right in our hands today. Thank you, Tesla Nevada team, for making this vision a reality. Your hard work is powering a more sustainable, resilient world!
An advisory from Chansoo Byeon @ByeonChansoo :
Tesla Powerwalls & Solar roof should be mandated for all new builds by the building code @elonmusk @Tesla Way too many people don’t know buying a Tesla is cheaper than buying a Corolla!
Nigeria’s Power Holding Companies (Generating and producing) have only managed to produce only about 4000MWs of electricity each day, not even enough to power a City like New York per day. There has scarcely been any improvement for over 60 years of earning salaries. And that is fo a population of over 200 million people. Meanwhile, South Africa with a population of 50 million citizens says their daily production output of power that was 150,000 MWs was insufficient and they have since ramped it up with the plan to add more.
Egypt too, has surged ahead with it’s power generation and distribution. But the Nigerian conglomerate has sworn by itself never to improve it’s output, yet continues to collect millions from hapless consumers daily from estimated billings that funds greed while the Grid keeps collapsing.
Many Nigerian homes have already started going off-grid through the installation of Solar Panels on their rooftops.
And now Tesla has added to the solution.
Nigeria’s Power Holding Companies (though split into distribution companies would soon have themselves to blame when beleaguered Nigerians all go off-grid. The money funding their greed to grid collapse would sing a dirge when the people ignore their poles erected in people’s compounds. Perhaps they should come and remove their poles?
Nigerians are tired of their inefficiencies.
