- NDPHC begins transmission project
- To construct a 15km 33kV transmission line
- Project to address transmission challenges in the South West
The Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) has flagged off a 15km 33kV transmission line project. The project will address the transmission challenges in the South West region. The line will connect the Ile-Ife transmission substation to Garage-Olode Town, Ife South LGA of Osun State.
Speaking at the flag-off event yesterday, Osun state Governor, Gboyega Oyetola, commended the management of the NDPHC and noted his administrations resolve in providing reliable electricity supply in the state. ”Through this project, power supply will be restored to Ife South West LCDA, thus ending the unpalatable decade of power outage”, Oyetola stated.
The Executive Director, Networks, NDPHC, Ifeoluwa Oyedele, who was at the event, thanked Governor Oyetola for his efforts alongside NDPHC in implementing the project and also added that the NDPHC would work in collaboration with Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) in ensuring the supply challenges in the area are resolved.
”Following the intervention of the Governor of Osun State, we at NDPHC, in keeping with our mandate to improve electricity infrastructure in Nigeria visited Garage-Olode Community for location inspection and discovered that the Community electricity supply is being fed from old Akure Transmission Substation which has been dilapidated for a very long time”, Oyedele said.
”In scoping this project, we engaged with IBEDC, and we have been assured that the intervention of NDPHC in the improvement of electricity infrastructure in this Community will align with their proposed infrastructure upgrade in the Community and the entire State”, he added.
This project scope includes the dualisation of a 3km 33KVA line from Mayfair to Modakeke, the supply and installation of 8 300KVA, 8 500KVA distribution transformers to the community.
