NDPHC to Supply 10MW to Odukpani Oil and Gas Park

The Niger Delta Power Holding Company Limited (NDPHC) has advanced plans to supply 10 megawatts of electricity to the Nigerian Oil and Gas Park in Odukpani, Cross River State, in a move aimed at strengthening industrial operations and boosting local content in the energy sector.

This follows a strategic partnership with the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board, according to a statement issued by the Head of Corporate Communications and External Relations, Emmanuel Ojor.

The statement noted that the collaboration, which began with the submission of an Expression of Interest by the customer in 2025, has progressed to a key engagement held on February 25, 2026, signalling a major step towards project execution.

Under the arrangement, NDPHC will deliver 10MW of electricity from its Calabar Generation Company Limited to the industrial facility.

The dedicated power supply is expected to provide stable, reliable, and sustainable energy for operations within the park, addressing one of the major bottlenecks to manufacturing and processing activities in Nigeria.

The Nigerian Oil and Gas Park in Odukpani is designed as a strategic hub to support downstream operators, facilitating the production, processing, and distribution of refined petroleum products and gas-based materials.

Industry stakeholders say the initiative will significantly advance Nigeria’s local content agenda by promoting indigenous manufacturing of oil and gas equipment and components.

With improved power reliability and a more conducive operating environment, the park is expected to deepen local participation, reduce reliance on imports, and enhance value addition across the oil and gas value chain.

The project is also projected to generate employment opportunities, stimulate small and medium-scale enterprises, and drive economic growth in Cross River State and neighbouring regions.

Once operational, the partnership between NDPHC and NCDMB is expected to serve as a model for integrated power and industrial development, demonstrating how dedicated energy solutions can unlock industrial capacity and support sustainable economic growth.
