21 April 2013, Asaba, Delta - What the Niger Delta Power Holding Company, NDPHC, has achieved under the National Integration Power Projects, NIPP, in the last 12 months or thereabouts is a testament to what greatness this country can achieve in no time if only we could muster a collective seriousness in the nation-building process.
Despite intensive legal, political and funding hiccups leading to a two-year hiatus, the NDPHC has completed 15 power generation projects in Olorunsogo, Ogun State; Sapele, Delta State; Alaoji, Abia State; and Omotosho, Ondo State. Cumulatively, these power stations have increased the country’s generation capacity by 1,687.5MW.
Also, the NDPHC has added 274 kilometres (km) of transmission lines to the national carrying capacity through the completion of six transmission projects namely, the 330KV DC Ajaokuta-Lokoja-Gwagwalada lines, 222Km; 330KV DC Ihovbor-Benin Main-Oshogbo Line A, 17km; 330KV DC Papalanto-IkejaWest-Ayede line, 16KM; 330KV DC Ganmo-Jebba-Oshogbo SC-Turn In/Turn Out Line, 12KM; 330KV DC Omotosho-Ikeja West Line, 5Km; and the two-kilometre, 132KV DC Ganmo-Ilorin-Oshogbo Turn In/Turn Out line.
Furthermore, the NDPHC has strengthened the transmission capacity of 12 substations, built three new ones from the scratch and rehabilitated two across the country, with a cumulative capacity of 2,370MVA.
