The Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) has signed Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) totaling about 500 megawatts, pending regulatory approval. According to the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Engineer Jennifer Adighije, the agreements will significantly enhance NDPHC’s performance and revenue once approved. Speaking at the National Association of Energy Correspondents of Nigeria (NAEC) Conference in Lagos, Adighije noted that easing liquidity challenges has positioned the company to reinvest heavily in the power transmission subsector to improve energy delivery.
She highlighted the ongoing Agbara Industrial Cluster Project as one of NDPHC’s most promising initiatives, designed to boost industrial power supply through new infrastructure and customer connections. Similar industrial cluster projects are planned for Kano, Challawa, and Dawanu. Adighije also emphasized that the transition to bilateral electricity trading is opening new investment opportunities across the sector.
The NDPHC boss commended President Bola Tinubu and the Minister of Power for implementing policy reforms under the Electricity Act 2023, which decentralizes the energy market and allows states to participate directly across the value chain. She reaffirmed NDPHC’s readiness to form strategic partnerships with state governments—such as Ondo State—to expand reliable, affordable electricity access nationwide.
