Elixir to epileptic power supply
the problem. The Niger Delta Power Holding Company Limited is one of the initiatives that aim to solve the power crisis.One critical factor that has remained a sore point in Nigeria’s attempt at socio-economic development is the perpetual failure at redeeming the nation’s power sector. Despite the multi-billion dollar investments into the sector over the years, it has remained non-appreciative, persistently a stunted well-fed child.
The NDPHC was given marching orders to develop 10 power plants with a designed installed and operating capacity of 5,067MW, 102 transmission lines and sub-stations projects and over 291 distribution-injection sub-stations and gas infrastructure with over 22,000 completely self-protected transformers, among other critical projects.
So far, completed power plants include 750MW Olorunsogo II; 450MW Sapele; 434MW Geregu II; 450MW Omotosho II; 450MW Ihovbor; 450MW Alaoji; 563MW Calabar and 225MW Gbarain. Of note in these respects are the inauguration of the over 220km long 330kV Double Circuit lines providing alternative thermal power into Abuja and the FCT from Geregu, through a new Lokoja sub-station, a new Gwagwalada sub-station into the existing TCN Katampe and Apo sub-stations with several significant expansion work on existing sub-station developments along this route.
