This paper provides insight on a failed system that resulted in self help electricity generation in the means of plenty. The household daily fuel consumption is investigated. This study aimed at determining daily cost of generating electricity for personal use (household). This study investigates the cost of fuel consumption with respect to electricity generation based on generator. The regression model is applied to predict the cost of powering generator on a daily basis in the presence of interrupted electricity supply. Though, the analysis revealed that the daily fuel consumption and cost implication is fluctuating depending on interrupted electricity supply from the electricity companies. The analyses is that the more electricity is interrupted the more people result to the use of generator to generate electricity. The contrary is also true.
