An update and pictures of the ongoing development of an 11 MW hybrid power solution Independent Power Project (IPP), located in the Oyo State Secretariat, Agodi, Ibadan.

The development of the Independent Power Project was awarded to Elektron Energy. The Ground Breaking Ceremony for the Independent Power Project was done by Governor Seyi Makinde on Saturday, 11 December, 2021, and the project is estimated to be completed by Q2 2024.

The 11 MW Independent Power Project is called a hybrid power solution because it comprises 10 MW gas-fired power generation and a 1 MW PV solar solution. The ongoing Shell Gas Pipeline project will supply gas to the Oyo State Independent Power Project. The IPP, when completed, will serve as the main power source for the tribrid power system of the Light Up Oyo project. Additionally, it will serve the energy needs of various infrastructural facilities in Oyo State, which include but will not be limited to:

The State Secretariat and Government facilities within
12 healthcare facilities, including the Adeoyo Maternity Teaching Hospital and the State Hospital Ring Road, The Lekan Salami Sports Complex, Adamasingba, The judicial complexes at Iyaganku and Ring Road, The Oyo State House of Assembly, A selection of schools within a defined catchment from the generation plant at the State Secretariat, and The Moniya Business District (in a bid to facilitate the expansion of the state’s economic base).

This is outlined in Governor Makinde’s speech at the groundbreaking ceremony of the Oyo State Independent Power Project.

The Oyo State Government is developing rural electrification projects and is also seeking investors in the energy sector in its bid to provide alternative power supply sources in Oyo State and to meet the energy needs of Oyo State citizens through a hybrid approach.

Is this playing?

Nice one

What is playing there? What was written up there that you don't understand so I can explain to you

So, the so-called 'IPP' is just large Caterpillar generators that use gas instead of diesel.

Politicians just use some of these fancy terms to deceive people.

Anyone that has a generator at home also have an IPP, afterall the generator produces electricity independent of the Discos.

That is what IPP is all about. However, you missed an important point though. That is, the 11,000KW IPP can feed back into the distribution or transmission line to serve multiple customers, business districts, commercial facilities e.t.c as mentioned in the article.

Rubbish project

Project expected to be completed in 6months but after 2yrs, not completed

This is just generator that will be powered by gas and its exclusive for government secretariat

This is not IPP but installation of gas powered generating set for the use of state secretariat

At the end of the day, the cost of running gas will be higher than electricity bill so this is nothing but a huge waste

This one just rush to type rubbish lol. How will cost of running be higher than nepa bill?
Is it not suppose to be factored into the bill?
Those gas generators in those containers to supply only secretariat?!! . Kuku tell me they want to bombard the secretariat with light lol. The power plant will cover a community of serious people that are ready to pay the bills.

You don't lives in oyo state, I lives here

Same Makinde who installed streetlight powered by diesel generator? The joke is on you

There's no community that will get just 1v of power supply from this gas powered generating set

If you have evidence that any community will benefit from it, post it here
