Bayelsa plans 60,000MW turbine to curb power outage

Bayelsa State government has stated that it is intensifying efforts to establish independent power plants to ensure stable power supply in the state, which is currently dependent on the national grid.

The acting governor of Bayelsa State, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, who stated this on Monday during a meeting with the leadership of Imiringi Community and some stakeholders of Ogbia Local Government Area, including the Obanobhan of Ogbia Kingdom, King Charles Charles Ebinimi Owaba in Government House, Yenagoa, said the government was partnering some Chinese investors to site a power plant by the existing gas turbine belonging to the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) at Elebele that would generate about 60,000 Megawatts.

He disclosed that efforts were underway to refurbish the state-owned Imiringi gas turbine in Ogbia Local Government Area to ensure stable power supply in the state.

According to him, subsequent governments will provide a third power plant to generate and distribute electricity to Nembe, Brass and Southern Ijaw local government areas in line with the Senator Douye Diri-led administration’s A.S.S.U.R.E.D Agenda in the power sector.

Senator Ewhrudjakpo, who offered an unreserved apology to the people of Imiringi over the power ministry’s attempt to move out the turbine transformers for refurbishment without properly notifying the community, attributed it to communication gap between the Elebele community and government.
