Nigeria, Abuja: As part of its mandate to stabilise power supply in the country, the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) has said it is planning to install 100,000 additional solar home units across the country.
Managing director of NDPHC Chiedu Ugbo said the company has already installed 20,000 home units, following its diversification into renewable energy.
Noting that the company is socially responsible through its corporate social responsibility (CSR) projects, the NDPHC boss appealed to Nigerians and especially those communities playing host to all electricity projects and installations of the company to see them as their property to protect them against the challenges of theft and vandalism.
“Within the last year we have witnessed some setbacks through such actions when gas pipelines were damaged and also recently when high tension towers were pulled down and parts carted away in River State,” he added.
NDPHC is incorporated as a private limited liability company with shareholding fully subscribed to by the federal, state and local governments of Nigeria with a mandate to manage the power projects tagged ‘National Integrated Power Projects (NIPP).
