Diesel & Generator

  • Communal Power Infrastructure: Wilbahi Estate is provided with three (3) 500KVA functional stand-by generating plants for the common use of all residents.
  • Private Generator Ban: Residents are strictly prohibited from owning and operating private generators.
  • Mandatory Contribution: Because these generators power essential common services (security lighting, water pumping, street lighting), it is mandatory that all residents contribute to diesel purchases and generator maintenance.
  • Fee Calculation: The amount payable by each resident per flat/house is determined by the specific section or block covered by their assigned generating set.
  • Disconnection Penalties: Failure to comply will attract penalties, including complete disconnection of power from both the standby generator and the public grid (PHCN).
