THE gas turbine projects under the National Integrated Power Projects (NIPPs) scheme are expected to add 4,264 Mega Watts (MW) to the national grid, when completed in 2013.

Already, the NIPPs are presently contributing about 1,687MW to the grid through the 15 power generation stations commissioned across the country.

The Managing Director, Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC), owners of the NIPPs, James Olotu, who disclosed this in Lagos, recently, projected that the power generation from the NIPPs would hit 4,900MW by May 2014.

He stated that about 15 power generation plants have been commissioned between January 2011 and December 2012, assuring that more deliveries would boost power supply in 2013.

He, therefore, rolled out plans for the new year, with expectations that the completion of all gas turbine projects under the NIPP scheme would add 4,264MW before the end of 2013.

Others projects planned for the year includes follow up on the outstanding combined cycle for Alaoji, which would generate 510MW, follow up the completion of transmission projects - 2,194Km 330KV lines and 5,640MVA 330/132KV SS and 809Km 132KV lines and 3.433MVA 132/33KV SS.

Nice development!

Story.
Everything is always to happen in the future under GEJ.
Let me know when it actually happens.
Thank you.

Just incase i carry 3rd wit NIPPS.

Super story. We have heard more than this before but it all went the same way. Story story.

I am stiLl optimistic that this administration will succeed in her quest for stable power in the country. Giving us power and sanitising the electorial system are enough achievements to be remembered for. I wish our leaders well and hope they become as patroitic as my humble self.
