 The Delta State government approves the establishment of a 2.5MVA independent power plant IPP to power a number of critical government establishments in Ikanov East local government areas of the state. The Commissioner for Information, Mr. Charles Aniago, discloses this while briefing journalists and some of the decisions reached at the State Executive Council meeting preceded over by Governor Ifani Okawa at the Esco Chamber's Government House, Asaba. He says the independent power plant will generate 2.5MW of electricity upon its completion. We will also encourage the incoming government to see how that can be replicated in a number of other areas so that at the end of the day we can now also have energy to power a number of key sectors of our economy and possibly now make it possible for the national grid to be available for our people. The beauty of it all is that the amendment to the constitution now guarantees a full liberalisation of that sector unlike before where the federal government was holding on to transmission. Now you can generate, transmit and of course distribute. So that is an advantage we are not letting to just pass by. And so today we have approved the establishment of that 2.5MW of electricity to be able to provide the energy for those critical government establishments.
