Aba Power Ltd, a subsidiary of Geometric Power, will start to supply power from one of its three turbines to consumers in the Aba Ring-fenced Area this weekend rather than in two weeks as originally scheduled.
Aba Power Limited, a subsidiary of Geometric Power Plant, is billed to commence 24-hour power supply to about 9 out of 17 local government areas in Abia State.
Sam Amadi, former chairman of the National Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), says he did not work with anyone to delay the Aba project.
As the nationwide electricity crisis deepens, the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has reduced electricity supply to the Aba Ring-fenced area by more than 50 percent. SaharaReporters gathered from sources close to Aba Power that the reduction started last week, with supplies dropping from 25 Megawatts to 10MW without any official explanation or apology. Meanwhile, the Managing Director of Aba Power, Patrick Umeh, confirmed the drastic reduction in a telephone interview.
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited is now run professionally like an efficient private sector organisation, according to a former Minister of Power, Professor Bart Nnaji, who is also a major player in the energy industry.
