Lagos, Oando Complete N3.2b Power Plant by arcis: 6:54am On Oct 11, 2013 |
OANDO Gas and Power (OGP), a subsidiary of Oando Plc and the Lagos State Government have completed the construction of a N3.2 billion Independent Power Project (IPP) in Alausa, Ikeja area of Lagos State. The project, which is a 10.34Mega Watt dual fired power plant has already been slated for commissioning on Thursday in a bid to vastly improve the provision of power to the state secretariat complex in Lagos. The natural gas fired plant is expected to significantly assist in the reduction of emissions that emanate from the more than 70 diesel generators that are currently in use within the Lagos State Secretariat area of Lagos. The Lagos State Government had said that consistent and reliable power supply to the secretariat would increase the functionality and efficacy of its employees, which it described as key to the progression of the state. OGP said in a statement yesterday that the Alausa IPP is the second successful project of such profile for Oando, following the Akute Power Limited’s 12.15 Megawatts power plant, which was commissioned to improve electricity supply to the Lagos State Water Corporation. The statement said: “Oando has identified the need for IPPs as a welcome resolution to Nigeria’s crippling power problem, and is implementing a strategic framework which earmarks the development of critical infrastructure to harness the vast natural gas resources in Nigeria to accelerate industrialization, economic well-being, and value creation for relevant stakeholders. “It is estimated that the entire secretariat requires an average of 4.0 megawatts; 5.5MW during peak periods and about 0.5MW during off peak periods. The disconnection of the Alausa secretariat complex from the PHCN grid will make additional electricity available to many residents in Lagos State, and the streetlights on the main Awolowo Road will be powered by the plant, thus enhancing security for road users at night.” It added that with over N3.2 billion spent in the development of the plant, the project has provided employment to over 200 people from the construction period to commissioning, which is scheduled for October 17. www.theguardianmobile.com/readNewsItem1.php?nid=18187 3 Likes |

Those who have chosen to hate us, question our development, poke fingers at our system of governance and slander our ways of life can continue to do so Well I have news for them, the more they resent us for developing our land, the more we will give them reasons to resent us It's in our DNA to develop We are wired to leave anywhere we find ourselves better than we met it That's the Yoruba spirit That's the Odua ingenuity Yoruba land o ni baje 27 Likes |

toothpaste: Shut up your tiger-clawed mouth please. I am shocked at this level of ignorance - I thought any power plant is a generator and the source is a fuel is what matters and in this case it is natural gas. Hatred is a slow killing disease. 5 Likes |

collynzo2: 10.34MW is a giant generator at best. We need to be serious. another woeful statement - what about a collection of 10.34mw plants all over the state. Where is the rule that states that a generating plant is classified as a power station when it generates above 10MW Hatred kills slowly - Acknowledge goods things or move on if you have nothing to write, 2 Likes |

Kudos to fashola. The never-do-well fellows are here again condemning this great projects saying it is a giant generator. Little drops of water make the ocean. If other state govt also construct similar projects like this, I think it will reduce the load on national grid. This will inturn improve our electricity supply. Nigerians are indeed the problems of Nigeria. God bless the yoruba nation. 2 Likes |

blacksta:10MW x 36 states = 360MW pure trash, that is not worth calling a power plant and you know it. You also have to consider the amount of money involved. 2 Likes |

The Lagos Island IPP (over 11MW) currently powers the State House, Island Maternity, General Hospital, The High Court and the street lights in and around Marina and stretching to Eko Bridge This Power Plant will serve the secretariat and provide electricity for street lights around Alausa and all the way to Ikeja More plants will be built to serve public buildings and eventually industrial areas This will free up electricity for commercial and residential areas Slowly but surely we are on the right path towards addressing the most critical infrastructural need which the FG has consistently failed to address 7 Likes |

When I see comment from Nigerians on Social Media going along tribal lines, I marvel . In my mind, I imagine either of the following 1. That they are just joking because i don't see how people can be soo myopic 2. They are not exposed enough to see to understand the dynamics of human existence 3. They are too lazy to engage their brains and subsequently conclude that good is for tribe A and bad is for tribe B I seriously think that Most people fall into assumption 1, so I wave all those tribal comments as "jokes" Congrats to Lagos state, I hope all companiess, governments, estates can start developing their power plants, so as to reduce the burden off the National grid 16 Likes |

Last year a 10MW power plant was built for €12m (N2.6bn) in a country that had the technical and material requirements - Germany http://cleantechnica.com/2012/06/14/watch-the-construction-of-a-10-mw-solar-power-plant-in-germany/ This is a 10.34MW plant for N3.2bn in a developing country Inflation Rate in Nigeria between last year and this year stood at 8.7% So tell me what makes the Power Plant overpriced? 20 Likes |

geeez: Last year a 10MW power plant was built for €12m (N2.6bn) in a country that had the technical and material requirements - Germany Good thing is good. Again well done Fash. By removing all state owned infrainfrastructures from national grid, unprecedented measure of improved power will come to the ordinary citizens. Note that these facilities being removed always enjoy preferential treatment by PHCN. |
