that the firm has the ability to provide about 7,000 megawatts of transmission capacity to distribution companies, among other industry issuesWe have power plants in Calabar, Cross River State; in Omokhu, Rivers State, which is still under construction; in Alaoji, Abia State; in Gbarian, Bayelsa State; in Egbema, Imo state, that is still under construction; and in Sapele, Delta State. We also have in Benin, Edo State, which is close to Azura; in Omotosho, Ondo State.

So NIPP alone has provided transmission capacity of over 7,000MW, which is about 9,000MVA in terms of substations. Of course, there are several kilometres of transmission lines across the country, including 330kV lines and 132kV lines done by the NDPHC. The Ikot-Ekpene substation, for instance, was commissioned by the government in 2017. It is a 12-circuit substation, that means you have 330kV lines in 12 places that are in and out of that substation.
