A member of the board and Governor of Ekiti State, Mr Kayode Fayemi, made this known while addressing the State House correspondents on the outcome of the board's meeting in Abuja.
He said the board would be generating substantial amount of megawatts from its ongoing National Integrated Power Project (NIPP) programme this year for immediate transmission and distribution to customers through successor companies of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN).
“Perhaps, the most heartwarming news that we are to give you is the fact that this is going to be the year of harvest.
“You have heard many things before now about the NIPP projects across the country. But we want to assure Nigerians that based on the work that had been done so far, we are also certain that all of the ten projects across the country would be delivered this year, and those are the power plants that I’m talking about, that are being constructed across the country.
” All of them will be ready this year.”
Fayemi said adequate measures had been put in place to safeguard the equipment and installation of all NIPP projects across the country.
On gas delivery to the completed power plants, he said arrangements had been concluded to ensure stable gas supply to the plants.
He further disclosed that the meeting approved the 2013 budget of N5.3 billion for the board
