Nigeria Transmission Expansion Project Phase 1 (NTEP1).
Location
Across the states of Kano, Kaduna, Delta, Edo, Anambra, Imo, and Abia, in Nigeria.
Project Owner/s
Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN).
Project Description
The NTEP1 aims to rehabilitate and upgrade the nation’s power lines and improve distribution and supply.
It includes the construction of 330 kV double-circuit quad transmission lines and substations across the country.
The project will upgrade the existing 263 km of 330 kV lines while adding an additional 204 km of new lines to increase TCN’s wheeling capacity, stabilise the grid and reduce transmission losses.
It will also reduce the use of small-scale diesel generators, thus preventing the emission of 11.46-million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year.
Potential Job Creation
About 2 000 direct jobs will be created – 1 500 during construction and 500 during operations.
Capital Expenditure
The NTEP1 is part of a $1.6-billion Transmission Rehabilitation and Expansion Programme.
