Nigeria, Abuja: The Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) says the Lafia transmission substation is finally completed and energised.
Technical Adviser, NDPHC, Sanya Adejokun, said this in a statement that the contract for the multi-billion Naira National Integrated Power Project (NIPP) 330/132/33 kV Lafia transmission substation was awarded by the Niger Delta Power Holding Company in November 2016.
Adejokun, who said work commenced at the Akurba site in 2017, noted that NIPP aimed at strengthening electricity infrastructure and improving supply nationwide.
The transmission substation has the capacity to deliver and meet 240 MW of load demand. The project will enhance and guarantee an uninterrupted power supply to Nasarawa and its immediate surrounding states.
“Both the 2 x 150 MVA 330/33 kV transformers T1 and T2 as well as the 75 MVar shunt reactor (for voltage regulation and control) were successfully energised on 30 November.
The Executive Director for Networks at NDPHC IfeOluwa Oyedele said that Abuja Electricity Distribution Company had almost completed the reticulation of the distribution feeders that will ensure that residents of the state and its environs begin to immediately enjoy the full benefit of the completed Lafia substation.
