While some people think the present administration is not doing enough, here is some news for them:

Total Exploration and Production Nigeria Limited on Tuesday announced that a section of its Northern Option Pipeline that will supply gas to the National Integrated Power Plant at Alaoji in Abia State has been completed.

According to the firm, the pipeline would boost gas supply to the power plant, a development that would increase the country’s power generation.

Total, in a statement issued in Abuja, said the NOP pipeline, which stretches from kilometre 38 at Obigbo to Kilometre 50 at Imo River, was completed on January 12, 2015 and is now ready for gas inflow to the NIPP at Alaoji along the Imo River in Abia State.

“This milestone will help bring to reality, the Federal Government’s aspiration of improved electric power supply in Nigeria and demonstrates Total’s commitment to meeting its promises to deliver better energy,” the firm’s Managing Director, Elisabeth Proust, was quoted in the statement.

The NOPL is a 24-inch wide, 50km long pipeline under construction by Total E&P Nigeria Limited on behalf of the NNPC/TEPNG Joint Venture.

“When completed later this year, the project will deliver 100 million cubic feet of gas per day to this strategic power plant,” the statement added.

The firm noted that in an effort to ensure early gas supply to newly built power plants, the Federal Government requested TEPNG to complete a section of the NOPL from km 38 at Obigbo to Km 50 at Imo-River where the line connects to Nigeria Gas Company facilities.

It added, “This is the point that allows gas inflow to the Alaoji power plant. This intervention for early gas required that TEPNG mobilised additional resources to fast track the works in order to meet the deadline despite numerous changes associated with the difficult terrain.

“The gas now being supplied to the Alaoji power plant during this interim period will come from Seven Energy, while NGC will transport the gas through their pipeline and the section of our NOPL.”
