Lafarge Africa Plc says its newly constructed 220-Mega Watts power plant at Ewekoro, Ogun State, will commence operation in October.

The company, in a statement, said the project worth $400m (N78.8bn) was executed in partnership with the International Finance Corporation and Wartsila.

It added that the IFC would provide financial and advisory services for the project through InfraVentures, its Global Infrastructure Project Development Fund, while Wartsila would build and manage the power plant.

It expressed the hope that the project would enhance 1.4 million households’ access to electricity and help mitigate energy problems of many firms in the country.

The firm said power project remained one of the company’s contributions toward providing an enabling environment for new investments and the nation’s economic growth.

NAN reports that the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission licensed embedded power companies to boost electricity supply in the country.

Embedded power companies are not primarily power generating companies, but they generate extra power from their operations and sell the surplus to the national grid or the distribution companies.

The state DISCO should buy up the excess for local distribution and use. Why waste it by sending it into the useless and obsolete National grid? Makes o damn sense...

Ogun state...the gateway state...pls lead the way...as always

A welcome development

Does TCN have adequate infrastructures to evacuate the power?

FG should disband TCN or better still, privatize the company and allow other players to compete and expand the transmission infrastructures

A situation where a generation company generate power but can't sale nor evacuate is not acceptable

Yea. The TCN is the weakest link in our power sector. The major activity Buhari's government must carry out in this sector is privatization of TCN. Nigeria should have nothing less than 6 transmission companies.

LOL at evacuate. Is it dilation and curettage?

all power generated must be connected to the National grid, Power can then be transmitted to the distribution substation.

That is the terminology used in Power transmission
