 President Muhammad Bari has inaugurated the Kashinbilla Multi-Purpose Dam 40 MW Hydro Power Station and associated 132KV switch yard transmission line and distribution substation phase 1 project located at the Kashinbilla in Takum Luka government area of Tarabah State. The president who spoke at a virtual ceremony held at the Council Chamber State House Abuja during the commissioning underscored theme potence of the project highlighting each role in his administration's commitment to achieving the target of 30 GW of electricity in the country by 2030 under the electricity vision 303030. The Kashinbilla Multi-Purpose Dam in Tarabah State with storage capacity of 500 million cubic meters was conceived principally to checkmate the threat of the imminent collapse of the structurally weak and poisonous lake Nios located at the line of volcanic activities in Cameroon Republic which could result in flooding and affecting millions of lives and properties. Even though the dam was meant to serve as a buffer to contain possible discharge of water of lake Nios, the engineering design maximized the benefits of the Kashinbilla ecosystem by incorporating a 40 MW Hydro Power Station 60,000 cubic meter per day water supply scheme 2,000 hectares of irrigation system and airstrip fishing activities and 2,000 potentiaries. Minister of Water Resource Suleiman Ademuz and his counterpart and Minister of Power Gaudi Jeddi Agba shed more light on the project. Fusion of Kashinbilla Ramowo Multi-Purpose Dam project suffered serious setback for over 50 years. The contract was awarded in 2007 to 30C Limited with a completion period of 36 months but was not realized due to inadequate funding and increases in scope until advent of the Bahari administration. I am happy to inform this robust gathering that the contractor has satisfactorily completed the dam and hydro power components of the project. Presently, power generated by the Kashinbilla Ramowo Multi-Purpose Dam is being transmitted into the national grid. In addition, work is progressing well on the water supply component at about 65% completion and the irrigation company will commence in due course. The airstrip, which is another important component of the project, is currently receiving an upgrade courtesy of General T.Y. and Juba. This means the minister of power funded and led implementation of the electromechanical component of the 14 megawatt hydro power plant and power evacuation component. This effort amplifies our commitment to meeting the target of the faculty electricity efficient 30-30-30 which aims to provide 30 megawatt of electricity by the year 2030, which renewable energy contributing about 30% to the energy mix that articulate the increase in access electricity specifically for renewable energy sources.
